I will officially certify that John is a geek.
To further jack down the track, never got into the RPG thing after trying AD&D, C&S, Cyberpunk and Rifts but really got hooked on tactical miniatures such as BattleTech, Warhammer 40K and various historical-based systems like MicroArmor, Spearhead and currently Flames of War. Haven't determined yet if fantasy nerds are more annoying than historical nerds, or which smells worse.
Had to add this hilarious D&D-themed vid after finding it on the 'Tube, an oldie but a goodie! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zng5kRle4FA
