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.

I seem to remember one summer holiday in the distant pastwhere me and five mates went to a cottage in Norfolk for two weeks, and without pause, played Dungeons and Dragons all day, by day, and Cthulhu by night, if we 'needed a break'.
We more or less completed Against the Giants, Decent into the Depths of the Earth, Vault of the Drow, and laid into the Queen of the Demonweb Pits before our time was up.
And that still didn't seem enough. Good times. :)

Oh, and the previous yearwe did the same thing, with Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth and The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun
Which is how our characters got so hard :)
A constitution of 22 is great for automatically regenerating hit-points
How did I remember that after about twenty years?
