ORIGINAL: darchChylde but you have a very interesting point, i have long wondered at the relationship between D/s and gaming (beyond the slight jealous twinge i get when i hear so many people calling Her "my Lady" in the midst of a campaign... i, who had not gamed in ten years not only found a family when i met Ma'am, but also a gaming group and from what i hear, it does seem to me that participating in gaming or BDSM might make one predisposed to the other... maybe it's because each one often involves roleplaying with small groups behind closed doors The two do seem to have a pretty big intersection, but not everyone. I, for example, have no blooming idea what y'all are talking about. I can figure out "cleric" and "healer," but WTF is a "crit?" The word "crit" is a slang term for the gaming jargon "critical strike" or "critical hit". Derived from early pen-and-paper games such as Dungeons & Dragons, it is an attack roll (that is, a roll of the d20 [or 20-sided die]) that results in a natural 20, which is an automatic success on the attack and allows for the dealing of double or triple damage, depending on the weapon used. Some weapons allow a critical for any number between 19- or 18-20, which is listed as it's "threat range". It has been adopted in video game design, for instance RPGs and MMOs, where a percentage of every attack is given double or triple damage. Players can use items, spells or other abilities to increase this percentage. *blinks and clears his throat* I...Um...Hope that answered your question. *blushes*
