Y'know, given the number of happy couples, kids and well-adjusted people in the pics here, it’s almost like this thread is anti-stereotype-gamer, which is good. I think most people who stand outside the hobby, looking at this thread would probably shock them.
"You mean these people all play role-playing games? No way, they look normal."
And some of them (both male and female) are attractive, quite the opposite of the stereotype.
It's actually like the group I got together over the internet. Everyone was really antsy until we all got together for the first game, looked around, and no losers! I think even we--who are in the hobby--have been affected by the stereotype.
Said my piece. Back under the waves.
