In an attempt to make friends at his new school, Leo Jeffries started a Scrabble® Club. The skinny, 14-year-old Freshman was shocked to find out that an esteemed learning institution like Manasquan High School did not already have a Scrabble® club.

Within a day of posting fifty bright yellow "Do You Dabble in Scrabble?" flyers in the hallways, over 100 enthusiastic students signed up for the fledgling club.

"I was so excited to meet all these cool people! There is a great mix of kids in the club... jocks, cheerleaders, student body officers and lots of other popular kids. I never knew there were so many people into Scrabble®, word games, anagrams and etymology. It's great! I even met a really nice girl and we are going on a date this Saturday night. I can't wait..."

Sadly, the ebullient Leo is rudely interrupted mid-sentence by the blaring morning alarm clock of realty that awakens the confused lad and ends yet another dream that will never, ever come true.

    I hear ya, Jerek, I was never smart enough or organized enough to be the dungeon master. I was usually a bloodthirsty, brazen dwarf who was killed before reaching the third level or amassing a healthy amount of hit points.

    I did a dungeons and dragons club back in High School. It was actually cool then, and I remember you were the "really popular" kid if you were a dungeon master. Wow, things have changed, haven't they?
