What's the collective noun for roleplayers?

[Hairfoot]

Unkindness would be cool, but ravens own that. Murder belongs to crows, I believe.

Right you are.

Geese got gaggles.

A quiver of roleplayers?

 

[Dirigible]

Like bears, I think we should be a sloth.

 

[Whisper72]

Hmm... a clutch? A herd? A plethora? A collection?

 

[Zander]

How about a dice-bag?

Or a table?

"Table" would help to distinguish pen 'n' pencil gamers from LARPers. Perhaps the collective noun for LARPers could be "action", "company" or "boffer".

 

[Agback]

Geese got gaggles.

Indeed. I think that is apt.

Have you ever seen the movie Sneakers? There is a bit where Robert Redford's character is trying to retrace by sound a route he was taken blindfolded, and comes to a bit where he expected to see a cocktail party.

Nice suggestions.

I'd prefer a dice pool, or shorter, a pool of gamers, though.

Wouldnt that be individual instead of collective though?

Not disputing its validity, of course.

"A group of 5 gamer geeks forms a stink."

Isn't geeks the plural of geek and hence referes to more than one already. Fish is more that one fish and fishes are more than one type of fish, hence geeks would be the group and geekses (possibly geekii) would be groups of more than one type of geek (as in D&D geeks, D20Modern geeks, Vampire geeks, etc.)

And darn you Jürgen Hubert you beat me to the post.

A slew?
After all, there's generally alot of slaying at D&D games...

[MavrickWeirdo]

A horde of gamers?

[Tonguez]

A game?

ergo we have a roleplaying game playing roles in a roleplaying game
