How nerdy are you?This week Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, died. A whole generation of pasty dice-obsessed nerds owes him big time. Me included.
So, in his honour, how nerdy were you? Are you still sunlight-averse? What are the sad little things you do that nobody else understands?
As an example, a B3ta regular who shall remain nameless told us, "I spent an entire school summer holiday getting my BBC Model B computer to produce filthy stories from an extensive database of names, nouns, adjectives, stock phrases and deviant sexual practices. It revolutionised the porn magazine dirty letter writing industry for ever.
Revel in your own nerdiness.

Managed to bypass most of the war gaming stuffI pretty much moved straight onto the dressing in period costumes and hitting people with large chunks of metal. I've been speared in the face, nearly had the end of a finger amputated as the direct result of a sword fight and am now able to sprint at top speed while wearing ringmail and being chased by several other lunatics wearing blue paint and swinging swords.
And then we all get heavily drunk. Can't complain.
On the other hand I can bore for England when it comes to the Late Roman period. Movers and shakers in 5th Century Britain? No problem. Economic decline and the transformation of the Empire into medieval Europe? Easy!
But the violence and drinking is more fun. ;-)
