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.

Drags on & drags onI used to run the largest RPG publishing company in the UK.
In the 80s I broke the Guinness World Record for non-stop AD&D. Got into the book and everything.
I knew Gary Gygax. He quite liked some of my games.
Bow before your master, peons.
(I'm worried by how many people reading this will immediately say, "Oh, that's J*m*s W*ll*s, it's got to be." Yeah, it is.)
