    Theres a not so fine line between using your imagination, mental and social skills, and this:

    I never really understood why people thought RPGs were nerdy until I met other people that played them. Bart's quote above is absolutely correct. I think a lot of the stigma comes from the actual nerds, not the games. I always viewed RPGs as the bridge between books and movies, you use your imagination, but there is more involvement and a story you can have a personal impact on.
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    Ahhhh, BattleTech....

    Long time, no coring headshots. Loved the game. Liked the online stuff as well. Not that many of us out here. The other RPG's, well, never got a chance to really try them out. Once I found BT, never went any further. Did very little D&D, a lot of the military RPG, but nothing like WarHammer or such.

    How did we get on that subject again??

    Whoa whoa whoa.... if PnP/CRPG players are THAT nerdy, what can be said for the people that spend their waking hours on payroll creating them? I havent touched a dice (we'll leave the casinos out of this one....) since the 80's but I have made the damned things for the past 12 years.

    Speaking of LARPing, this was on tv last night. I missed it but set the DVR to record it the next time it came on....

    I saw some clowns up around Aberdeen, MD in some tournament at a park when I stopped off on my way back from NY years ago. That was the most amused I had been in a LONG time. I wanted to hollar out something about "getting a life" or "how nice it is to get laid every now and then", but they probably would have beaten me down with their Nerf swords.
