While today marks the ninth incarnation of GM Day, it is also the first time since I discovered this “holiday” that I happen to be playing a roleplaying game on this most hallowed of days.

Probably has something to do with it falling on a Sunday this year.

So today, over nine years since Spunk Rat deemed March fourth to be holy to roleplayers, and on the fourth anniversary of Gary Gygax’s death, I — or at least the miniature representing the fictional character I pretend to be — will March Forth (get it?) to battle dragons (probably not) in a dungeon (most certainly).

I feel like I should buy flowers for the Dungeon Master. Maybe I will.
