I don’t think we are as rare as you might think boys. At least less and less so these days. I know that many people I meet when they talk to me, think I want to talk about some trend or fashion or gods forbid, a television show, but really, I’ll jump and bite at any opportunity to burst geeky, and share the realms of my imagination.
I could talk about my numerous roleplaying characters until the sun goes nova and I shit you not, I enjoy hearing about the interesting and creative characters other people imagine.
Like, like my weretiger ranger or my genasi assassin, or or my gnomish druidess, or oh oh, my tiefling-vampire sorceress!
Ahh, damnit. Now I’m sitting here wishing my rpg friends hadn’t had to go and get lives and leave to the far corners of the earth. fuck.
When I was in college, it was all about D&D and Anachronists. The name of our hangout was called Middle Earth and we had the Star Wars arcade game (+ a few others but I don’t remember them). We played Poker and Trivial Pursuit. Geekdom FTW!

@...sylvanish: One day I shall have to regale you with the tale of my 2nd level (+2 flying) dwarf archer.
12th Level paladin SWORD!> that is. but why when hot geeky girls talk geeky to me i go blank on geeky wiki. and think about real life situation like hot steamy cosplay sex, am i wrong for doing so? i mean you cannot blame me you are the one who went and wear those sexy outfist.
I’ve always been one to make fun of D&D and Cos play people. But if I ended up dating a girl played that looked like that. I certainly would never turn her down.
I knew a girl like her. We were good friends for the last two years of high school we hung out with some others a good bit. until I had the “good” Idea to join the navy two years ago. Now I cant find anybody is into the same stuff I am
Well howdy shipmates. Sorry orchunter, I had you pegged from earlier comments as a Marine.Drunkin is right, nuke rates (those that still have a sense of humor) are geeked to the gills. @...outofocus: Most often GM’s get in a rut or burnt out. In an effort to avoid that, our GM tried the “give me different untraditional character combos” but gamer party politics spoiled that one….
@SumoSnipe: I watched two dorks throw aluminum foil balls at each other outside the barracks at nuke school, and no shit roll dice to see how much “damage” it did.
Every 3rd Saturday of the month, a bunch of geeks/nerds/gamers/cosplayers get together in City Park and have at it. Some are really well done, while others are just having fun playing. I don’t know if they meet in the winter, but maybe I’ll take a trip out there (when it’s not freezing) and take some pics. It’s kinda like a small renfaire.
Nobody wants to hear about your 12th level paladin. Because paladins are boring. And gaming stories are inherently less interesting to anyone who wasn’t there at the time. And when it’s a gaming story about a boring paladin? You have no chance. She may just be up for listening to you talk about your 14th level fighter/rogue, though….
I do love women who game, for the most part. That’s pretty much why I married one- plus, as long as she’s around, I’m one person closer to having a gaming group.
Our family always formed a small hunting party, add our best friends’ family and we didn’t need anyone from the outside. I’ve purposely stayed away from WoW (no matter how much my youngest tries to trick me into playing) precisely because I get so addicted to them. Though I should say my time here isn’t much more productive. Damn you tiki!!!11
Why is this? Why does my genital region thinks a woman with a sword is hotter than one without?
Should not my genitals be hiding is pre-conclusive fear?
@...nyokki: ROFL… man… I kept cracking up for weeks after I saw that Leroy Jenkins thing… I’d be going about my business and some dumb situation would remind me of it, and I’d start chuckling to myself… People thought I was losing it…
@...SumoSnipe: Actually, it was the release of the Dragon Lance series that made DMs go downhill. They got lazy and started using those story lines instead of making their own stuff.
A few years ago I went to Ireland to see a friend and we went to his monthly RPG thing. The GM there was fantastic. Old school style. It’s no surprise though, the guy is a chairman for FidoNet.
@outofocus: I would personally have alot of difficulty with Imagination based RPG’s.
Would be nearly impossible for me not be the Dwarven warrior who removes all of his clothes and goes screaming into the room. I would then spend the next ten minutes arguing with the GM that a naked dwarf running screaming into a room causes Terror, Fear, Blindness and will stun any magician within 20 rooms into silence so they cannot cast.
😛
I wouldn’t make a good GM. It’s just not how my brain works.
One of my favorite characters was a 1/2 dark elf who was chaotic neutral. There was this guy that was at a lot of the games I played near the end of that phase in my life who was a total moron. And what I say total, I mean dipshit.
One time we were on the sea of dust and he was in the bottom of the boat and threw some fireballs. The only way he could have NOT caused us problems is if he had failed the spell completely but of course he didn’t. We managed to get out of the situation but I made it a point to kill his character once we got to land. I killed a few more of his characters after that. He didn’t like playing with me. Heh.
But the behavior was totally in line with my character. She killed people when it was the most functional means to an end. That didn’t stop him from whining a lot.
@outofocus: Hrmm.
My friends and I have considered it before.
getting a game together. although with our behaviour patterns it would prove a test not to go the silly way out. Not actually trying to piss of your friends. but just creating innovative solutions to problems. Such as nudity.
Nudity is the cure to all woes.
Fuck paladins. Painted Elf Druid, Tiefling Rogue, Changeling Factotum (the last one’s my favorite). I’ve only dressed up once though. Stupid friends, stupid dares, stupid alcohol.
Way back, like literally half my lifetime ago, when i were thirteen, I would dress up to play as my elven druidess character, which now i realize was a phantasy projection of my conceptual self, but nonetheless, never stopped me from throwing whole mountains at cities overflowing with evil. If only i could do so now.
Ok, fumbled roll for attempted flirty compliment. -6 hp due to crushing blow to ego. Falls flat face first into campfire, singeing beard. -6 to all Cha based rolls next two weeks.
Sorry. I am a geek. Extremely literal and all that crap (bordering on nerd I guess). I don’t get that stuff and end up feeling bad when I realize (often weeks later) what I missed.
@...Putridity: outofocus comments on +5 charisma IRL would be good for her. Sumo attempts to flirt by saying that she has more than +5 charisma and shouldn’t take the handicap. outofocus misses the subtle compliment and takes sumo literally by saying +5 charisma is not a handicap. Sumo then goes gamer on her and explains in geektalk that he was actually attempting to flirt w/ her. outofocus then says she didn’t realize that was what sumo was doing because she’s such a literal person…
But seriously, a +5 towards charisma would never be a handicap, right? I mean, say IRL I had 10 charisma, the +5 which would be attached to me either through some skill, level points or object I have would simply add +5 whenever I was rolling for something that relied on charisma.
Or have I forgotten something from ever so long ago?
@...outofocus: Lol, yeah, I could always use +5 charisma too. I think you’re being too literal again. Sumo was trying to say you don’t need any more, you’ve got plenty. ;<)
@...nyokki: ROFLMAO… Nice summary…
Think it’s possible to do the same for the Moldy bible thread? 😀

@...SumoSnipe:
LOL Yes, but that was the hyperedited, quote on the back of a T shirt edition…
I think Nyokki’s version would be like the Readers Digest condensed version… You know, good for light reading and such…
Condensing “Moldy Bible” would still be a lengthy novel (as opposed to a series) and it would require me to re-read much of it. That just ain’t gonna happen. ;<)

Wow.. you are in the navy and can’t find nerds to play games with? I can’t get them to try having a life!!
*Facepalm*
@...orchunter: hot bulky navy men ? hmm srry i like cheeto girls in tubes
🙁
I’ve never met a gamer girl that was actually into gaming.
@orchunter: appearantly you are not in the nuclear navy. What I remember from it there were plenty of geeky nerds to associate with.
@...tiki god: img165.imageshack.us/img165/9830/wowoncraigslistud9.jpg
I used to play D&D and Shadow Run but I stopped when the GMs started to suck.
I suck at parties because I don’t know how to have the surface conversations. I always dive in and actually think about stuff. I scare guys away.
@...nyokki: clearly a troll bait.
or she looks like chewbaka

That guy is now a WoW celebrity. he got booted from his guild i think but he is often asked to let out a mighty battlecry at game events.
incidentally. Leroy jenkins is a preacher in the US… He has his own brand of bottled water.
😀
@...Putridity: Really? That’s too funny. What’s the name of the water?
@Nyokki Lol.
Apparently you can’t get the water anymore…

@...sylvanish: Heh. My character was much the same for me. If only. :] I think it’d be sweet to be able to see in the dark and have +5 on my charisma.
@...outofocus: Why take the charisma handicap?
@...SumoSnipe: That’s not a handicap.
