You Know You're A Nerd If...

OK, this topic has been kicking around my head for a bit now. NDR and I talked about it a couple weeks ago, and considering recent blog-age at the Ministry today seems the time to post.

Unable to balance an original or imaginative format against my desire to get this up before lunch, I'll just steal...ummmmm...pay homage... to that redneck joke guy. Thus:

You know you're a nerd if:

-You see real animals and wonder about their hit dice
-You know that d100 and percentile dice are the same thing
-You are unsure of your own alignment
-You are absolutely certain of your own alignment
-You know where in your home there is a multi-sided die
-You keep that die out of nostalgia, with your old character sheets and sketches
-You wish you were half-orc
-You read your old Monster Manuals for a little light reading before bed
-TSR, GDW, and WoTC are not random letters but a way of life
-CNN and the military call it "night vision", but you know it's really infravision
-You own a sword
-Any of the above apply to you but you think you're actually pretty cool

I never played DnD, nor owned the weird dice, but I do have a couple of binders full of old TFT and Car Wars stuff. I still play Ogre too. :)

I don't own a sword, and I don't wish I was half-orc. Otherwise guilty as charged. And it doesn't bother me one bit.

Ted,
Own it! Own that nerdiness!

I wish I still had that stuff. Although, come to think of it, I know I have some of the Victory Games' Fleet series games somewhere in that pit I live in...but I think contemporary, realistic wargames are a differrent branch of nerdliness.

Half orc? Not so much. But when I was 13, I thought half-elves were the shiznit. Night vision. Magical ability. Not poncy like full elves.

J,
Yeah, that was when "inter-racial" had an entirely different connotation.
