I'l start:

1) When I'm in D&D land, instead of compromising with someone, I can just pull out my sword and decapitate them...

2) When you kill a man, you're a murderer. Kill many, and you're a conqueror. Kill them all, and, ooooo, you're a God.

3) I can play a slutty, buxom female elf and still feel secure in my manhood.

I have to quote an oldie but goodie from a circa 2003 EN World thread regarding comparisons between real life and a player character's life:

14) "In (an RPG), I can swing an axe all day. In real life, I have to take a break."

20.) I never have to take a dump.

21.) Even though I've been camping in the woods for weeks in winter with minimal gear, food and shelter I always feel great.

22.) I'll almost certainly not die from infection.

Unless I'm playing Hrnworld, in which case I'll always smell like I have to take a dump if I haven't already died from exposure and/or infection.

23) Dragons are so cool. We need to invent them in real life or something.

24) I like the smack-talking and other funny things people say a lot when they are gaming.

25) It's a good excuse to buy junk food.
