Status: offline 		Rules of geek/nerd-ery include:

D&D, Ren fairs, SCA, LARPing, Stark Trek, anything by H.P. Lovecraft, etc.

Basically I want to see who's the biggest geek out've all our forum users. Winners decided by posts.

Here I go:

I played D&D since 8th grade. I have a picture of me in costume at a Ren. Faire when I was a wee one. I've LARPed in the past and have bruises to prove it.

And... I suck as a geek.

Status: offline 		Have played RPG's for nearly 27 years now. Was a member of the AV club, photo club, computer club (this was back in the eearly 80's, so even knowing how to do anything with a computer automatical made you a geek), in high school the speach team captin kept trying to get me to join.

Oh, don't forget about no dates till after graduating from high school. I was a friend to most of the girls, but not the guy they wanted to date, lol.

Edit: In fact I am heading out to midevil fight class that the park district runs. The group leader is working on absorbing enough of the small groups. So in a couple of years he can take his army and fight against the SCA armies at war.

Yes, I am a geek.

Wait till you make a kobold using "Buy the numbers" supliment for DnD. He is quite the quasi-modern day pimp.

Ever wonder what kobold rap or heavy metal music would sound like?

I don't think that sounds anything like geeky...more like preppy.

You sound like someone with a life...I have a life too...actually, I'm a gamer so I have many lives, but it's not the same thing:P

Status: offline 		Must be a generational thing..that sounds like the opposite of geeky to me.

Geeky to me (I was born in '83) is  LARP, RPGs, D&D, SCA, Renn Faire, Video Gaming, MMORPG/WoW/EQ/NWN, reading Fantasy, LOTR, Anime, hentai, CosPlay etc.

Don't even get us old-time gamers going on what edition DnD is on. When you say 1st edition, do you mean 1st edition ADnD? ODnD? Basic DnD? what about the pre DnD that was published in the small white box?

If you think 1st edition was ADnD and that sucked. Then get a hold of basic DnD or worse yet the white box edition.

Oh just as a quick note, on several of the DnD web sites. People who have only played 3.x DnD are wanting the game to de-elvove back to Basic DnD (except with more rules for minitures).

We just officially lost all ungeeky people I think with this conversation:P

HEY! It was all we had!
 
I really can't claim geek status for my time playing D&D, as it was when I was in the USMC. My squad had a game that ran for about three years- and as I think of it, may still be running.
 
We also, for a while, played a RPG called 'traveller' which was a scifi game.
 
I did rennfaires/SCA for a few years, too...

I belive we did loose them.
Ya THAC0 (To Hit AC 0) was a table used in all the pre 3.x edition. since AC decreased as you got better (AC 0 is equlivent to AC 20 now).  It was a hard shift to switch from 20 years of that thinking to what 3.x uses.
