If playing D&D is partying, I was partying nearly every Friday night. Went to one party party in my time in high school. Did not care for it.

We called em LAN parties

I partied when i was young, never DnD'd nor LAN'd. Now in my thirties I DnD and LAN, party not so much :)

There's a lot of overlap at the LAN parties that I go to lol.
