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.

See that user name?It's a pun on Argrath, the leader of the Heortling rebellion against the Lunar Empire in Dragon Pass, on the continent of Gernertela in the land of Glorantha.
Not only do I play RPG's, I've got a draft of one for playing TV doctor shows in progress.
I have, at the last count, at least 7 RPG designers on my LJ friends list, including the line developer for the new version of D&D.
I work in IT.
Please folks, don't be like my friend who runs a game shop, goes to Napoleonic re-enactments, is a morris dancer, yet mocks people who dress up as Klingons for a laugh.
I love him dearly, but he is dwelling in a glass mansion and setting up a mangonel... oh, alright, onager.

frankspenceryes, when you see it written down like that, it does seem a little sad, doesn't it?
But like a mad welshman eating people, "it makes me happy".
