Dungeons and Dragons Culture

As the final paper was nearly 15 pages when formatted the way the prof actually wanted I have decided to not post the original complete in one post, but in multiple posts. We shall start with the intro: Dungeons and Dragons culture cannot be understood without at least a basic understanding of the cultures it is a sub culture of. First is an overview of Geek culture, then quick bits on Gaming and Role-Playing culture, then to the real meat. Each culture has certain things that are common throughout the culture, that makes the culture a unified entity. Language, Community, Ideology, Traditions, Cultural Items, and Music. Not each part is required for a culture to be a culture, but to an extent each culture shares at least a part of each in some way. Geek culture is a very varied culture, but even it, and all sub cultures that are a part of it follow these basics cultural aspects to have formed itself to be.

Fall Quarter and the brain imploded

I let my class research take my time this quarter, so this research fell to the wayside. I did make sure I can find uses for any in class research, so you might be seeing some of that coming soon. For now I will leave you with a few thoughts. http://geekgirlcon.com/ Check it out, they are not anti sausage, just pro chicks, and want to celebrate the coolness of female geeks, of all types. I had the pleasure of meeting the head of this at PAX. I turned Scandinavian history class research paper into a report on Mindtwister, and still got a 4.0 (maybe the prof is a bit of a geek?) My major research topic this quarter was for a popular culture class, where I researched D&D, not specifically female based research, but I plan on spending part of my break working on it and turning that around a little bit to better fit here.
