I think the geekiness goes like this, in ascending order:
LOTR films
Star Wars films (all)
LOTR books
Star Wars films (prequels never happened, Han shot first)
Star Wars video games
Silmarillion etc
Star Wars books
LOTR board/tabletop games
Star Wars RPG

I realise this list itself renders me irretrievably geeky and that I shall never be allowed to touch lady parts ever again.

Has anyone even read the Silmarillion?

I tried as a young child
and gave up.

I think I managed about half of it.

There's something on your facebook wall that will hopefully make you smile.

Well no, but usually it's my face that's responsible.

Like I ever manage to get that close.

Some people are coming over to play the LOTR board game tonight
:(
(PsychoChomp, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 13:32, Reply)

Which one?

(wellgroomedwookiee is a filthy-minded hobgoblin, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 13:32, Reply)

I have no idea.

(PsychoChomp, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 13:34, Reply)

The Risk variant isn't too bad. The map's a bit stupid though.

(wellgroomedwookiee is a filthy-minded hobgoblin, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 13:34, Reply)

Hang on, that's not a LOTR board game
that's a varient of Risk. And Risk isn't geeky.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 13:40, Reply)

LOTR Risk is both.
Especially if you bought the expansion with Mordor on.
(wellgroomedwookiee is a filthy-minded hobgoblin, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 13:41, Reply)

I don't actually know where my copy is
I've only got normal Risk at home.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 13:41, Reply)

I lost my copy, and my dog chewed all the pieces of my LOTR chess set.

( JessAction Give me all your expensive brandy and hubcaps., Wed 1 Jun 2011, 13:54, Reply)

I don't know why, but I get the feeling that is a lie intended to belittle me somehow.

(Bazongaloid, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 13:58, Reply)

Man, fuck you. I loved that chess set.

( JessAction Give me all your expensive brandy and hubcaps., Wed 1 Jun 2011, 14:00, Reply)

Did you keep it on a shelf in your bedroom and polish the pieces every saturday?
Only one time you had got it down to play a game with your pen pal and you left the bedroom door open and Taffy the Jack Russell got in and went to town on those bad boys like they were dead rabbits and one piece just disappeared and you had to check his poo for a week until it came through?
(Bazongaloid, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 14:03, Reply)

No, the pieces were made of plastic and they were on our coffee table. And he was a schnauzer, you fuck.

( JessAction Give me all your expensive brandy and hubcaps., Wed 1 Jun 2011, 14:06, Reply)

Calm down dear boy, I was only asking.

(Bazongaloid, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 14:08, Reply)

Can I make it clear I won't be playing.

(PsychoChomp, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 13:33, Reply)

A bit late to back away now.

(Bazongaloid, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 13:34, Reply)

that's a bit random and suspicious, really
why would people come to your house to play if you're not playing?
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 13:38, Reply)

I was away for the weekend, and my housemate invite people over.
He said "I assume you're not interested"
(PsychoChomp, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 13:52, Reply)

Did you say "YOU'RE TOTALLY WRONG AND I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DIDN'T INVITE ME FIRST! IT'S MY FAVORITE GAME EVER!"

( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 13:59, Reply)

are you afraid you'll enjoy it?
what are you man or hobbit?

You can come round to my house and play Catan instead.

the one with boats in is not suited for 6 players
either that or we played wrong, the barbarians kept kicking our arses
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 13:49, Reply)

Seafarers of Catan?
It's been a while since I played that one. I have the archaeology one, Settlers of the Stone Age.
( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 13:53, Reply)

not played that
I actually own none of them, but boardgames happen quite a lot at friends' houses
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 1 Jun 2011, 13:56, Reply)

I do a fair bit of boardgaming with my mates
Last Night on Earth is the current favourite, but there's some enthusiasm for dusting off Talisman.

haunted house on the hill
(or something like that) is a pretty good co operative one and i liked History of the World (again, I can't guarantee this is the real name) but I can't handle things with too many rules and strategies.

There was one cool one where you were a 3 legged tree beast and you controlled weird little creatures

I bet it's Porthcawl, that's the sort of place people go. I'd say to come round for a brew, but I'm having tea and cake at a colleague's house (actually not too far from there)

have fun
