Devin Burntwire likes Dungeons & Dragons. So much so that, with the help of his brother Shawn, he made a room in his house specifically for playing it. It is now a Dungeon, complete with portcullis, weapon rack, iron-wrought chandelier, a door that requires a skeleton key (!!!) and a fog machine for, you know, mood.
I'm stunned. This has gone so far past nerdy that it's purely totally fucking awesome, and I'm 100% impressed. There are many, many more pics here, if you want to gawk -- I promise, you want to gawk. Thanks to Jes for the tip.

I'm not even a D&Der, and even I gotta bow down to the impressiveness of that room. I'd love to have a home office/toy room that just has that feel. Of course, I'd call it Castle Greyskull.

Minimum requirements for D&D game:
-1 Player's Handbook
-1 Dungeon Master's Guide
-1 Monster Manual
-1 Set of dice for each player
-1 character sheet per player
-1 Devin Burntwire D&D Lair
A proper D&D game cannot be played without these things.

I once knew a stripper/receptionist/Hard Core D&D Player who turned a spare bedroom into something like this...not to this degree. This is...Just WOW
This is makes me take back 20% of all bad things ive said about D&D players.
Nega replied to sal:
Ain't no chicks playing D&D, man. Must've been a male stripper. Lol.
That room is lacking in real dungeon stuff. Shackles, a stock, iron madien, the rack...
Bad Horse replied to Nega:
And not a live dragon to be found. What a fucking amateur.
Plenty of women play D&D. There's two in my Saturday group, and a different two in the intermittent group. And I'm engaged to one of them, two others are the respective DM's wives, and the last is also married. So that kind of knocks that stereotype down, doesn't it?
The One Gerbil replied to ZADL:
It's funny that there is still the stereotype at all - I've only been a part of one game in which I was the only woman and within a few months, another woman had joined that one.
Denjiro replied to The One Gerbil:
Yep. Last D&D campaign I played in was three males, four females. Two were married couples. Somewhat coincidentally, the campaign ended because of one of the females. Specifically one became the DMs girl friend. She wasn't really there to play, not a gamer at all, was just there for attention. Once she had it, all the sudden no time for anything not her.

I just want to dress like Doc Doom and plot world domination in that room.

Curse that despicable Reed Richards!
Skeeter said:
My meager attempts at creating "atmosphere" in our D&D sessions by placing a few candles haphazardly around the room have been mightily shamed.
Mike at The Big Stick said:
Wow. I don't play D&D but that's is some cool ass shit.
Nicnac said:
forget the room... look at that GAME CLOSET!!!
ZeroCorpse said:
I'd like to play D&D with this dude. . . Unless he's one of those min/maxer types, or he's totally into miniatures rules.
GUMBERCULES! replied to ZeroCorpse:
Ugh, fucking munchkins.....
ZeroCorpse said:
Oh, and the game closet looks like my mother-in-law's garage, in smaller scale. Unfortunately, they're all collectibles, and not for playing.
PJ said:
Fuck. I am totally jealous.
james said:

Wade vs The World said:
Holy shit....if this is how serious he is about D&D just imagine his porn room!
VBane replied to Wade vs The World:
Oh sweet merciful god no, no one here should ever ever imagine that. I don't even want to conteplate what props he'd put in THAT room....
NeoXorn said:
Awesomeness!
More geek rooms please. By that I mean collection dens and/or "shrines."
Tabitha said:
Oh dear God, I want to come over and play in his dungeon. Please, please, please... I'll even invite my lesbian friends! We can have a gay old time!! I don't care if you're old, wrinkled, or insanly obese. I WANT TO DO BATTLE IN THAT DUNGEON!!
Jeff said:
This is cool. The problem with Dungeons & Dragons is that it's so fucking boring. I can't imagine spending even 2 minutes rolling dice and deciding whether I died or not. Do people still play this in 2010?
Nicnac replied to Jeff:
-1,000,000 nerd points.
actually I have never played pen and paper D&D. Closets I have come to that is Neverwinter Nights... ahhh good times.
