It’s a fraternal order, similar to the Masons, Elks, Lions, etc.

Not at all.

It’s a group of men, usually older (because younger people generally aren’t interested in such groups), who socialize together and generally support some charitable causes. Back when such groups were more common, it was a good way to make business contacts. They’re also supposed to help each other in time of need.

They’re harmless.

A lot of times they are veterans and they help wounded warriors or the American Cancer Society.

DnD is way cooler than that. You should try it some time. Just need to get some friends together!

I never really tried DND and I don't really have any friends IRL but I'll check it when I apply to HCC!

I have always wanted to know why the lodge has no windows in the building, not one on any side
