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.

D20I have a friend who's a bartender. Living in brooklyn that's as common as having a friend with arms. he got this gig slinging drinks on a thursday night at a place that was a bit of a hike from most of the bars in the area. the bar was pretty empty most of the time so we decided to play a game for our drinks. everyone at the bar was welcome. after buying a drink he'd give you a card and write your name (or character name) on it, then you rolled a 20 sided die for another drink. you could gain experience points good for more drinks or challenge anyone at the bar for their drink.
we did this every week over the course of a summer, and it got to be fairly popular. alas, like all role playing games, there will always be someone who wants to out-nerd you. so, as a general rule, i find it best to stop drinking when people agrue over who left their sword on the bar.
