Are you a gamer or a reader?

I was in that situation for most of the oWoD, myself.

Yeah, I haven't even looked at any of the nWoD stuff. I'm told I wouldn't like it, so I'm not bothering. I love oWoD and it'd be fantastic if I suddenly fell into a big pile of money so I could buy all of the books. It'd also be fantastic if I fell into a great group. Oh well.

Gale,

I'm not sure but I thought in German, a gamer was a type of sandwich/food. I mean that's why no one (that knows proper German) says "Ich bin ein Americaner."

I actually used the transition to figure out what I really want. I don't want to play Lestat, I want to play Sam and Dean Winchester. So now, instead of looking for someone to play Vampire or Mage with, I want to find someone to play BtVS/Angel/Army of Darkness with.

I run a rotation of games on Sundays based on player availability, one a DC-based Mutants & Masterminds game, another a Scarred Lands game.

Wednesday I play in a rotation of games with a current line-up of Advocate Percival, my Fraternity of Order diviner/lawyer in a Planescape game, Grigori Stanmir my Khard warrior for Iron Kingdoms, and then finally Meurin my Dark Jedi in a Star Wars d20 game.

I'm a gamer. I actually don't understand how most people could just read D&D books without actively using them, as I typically find them rather dry, boring reads that, even as a gamer, I'm reluctant to read through as I always feel I could be reading something better. I used to read the original World of Darkness books and gamed only rarely, but those were typically filled with setting rather than rules.

So, yeah. Gamer. If I wasn't gaming, I'd probably border on neither. I just don't find D&D books typically all that interesting to read through. If I wasn't using the books, I'd likely quit reading through them altogether.

Trickster,

Still glad you're one of us man. Not just a gamer but a Scarred Lands gamer! Hope abounds.

I'm a gamer when time, schedules, and finances fiance permit (which hasn't been often in the past four years or so). I'm a reader when they don't.

I'm in the same situation as James, with one slight difference.

 

[Mycanid]

Hmm ... much more of a reader, admittedly. I don't do much gaming nowadays - except maybe online or a comp rpg.

But I do get and read the books in my (rare) spare time.

 

[sniffles]

Based on your poll criteria, I'm a gamer. I doubt I'd be in here talking the game if I weren't playing it.

 

[krunchyfrogg]

Unless Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale counts as gaming, I'm stuck as a reader.

Reminder to self: I need to get back into pbp or pbem gaming. :/

 

[Jolly Giant]

Definitely a gamer! If I read a game book, it is only because I want to see if/how it can be used in my campaign.
