Thanks and yes I have DMed and prefer it to playing. Right now I am just freezing on the lesson plans because I am just used to college where I hit them over the head with content until they get it.

Thank you very much for your responses. Now I know how the ability of gamers who are on EnWorld and like to answer polls to deal with relationships. :p These results should hold true if the above mentioned group consists of less than 63,504 people (again :p ). And the anecdotal evidence for...

I start my job tomorrow as a physical science/physics/chemistry teacher in Monticello, AR. My principal has high expectations for me since I have two Master's degrees (physics/astronomy and biology/space science) and I have taught as a graduate student/adjunct professor for all but two years in...

I didn't see anyone use the label "loser" unless you misread "loner." But I still run into the perception that pen and paper gamers are 40 year virgins who live with their mothers and the last person I got this from was a WOW gamergirl who is currently living with her parents (though hot she is...

Though an uncontrolled, self-reporting survey is fraught with problems, the percentages have been surprising stable since I posted it.

If you are a player, you are a player (and I don't mean roleplaying games). Or should I say "playa"? Honestly I hadn't thought about that.

We'll just go with current status.

Possibly, but I am fighting stereotypes and this is one of them.

I chose S.O. over boy/girl friend for brevity. Plus some people don't like the term as they feel it is juvenile or exclusionary. If that is not you just read boy/girl friend over S.O.

Oh and just in case, the divorced row means "Divorced and have not had an S.O. since" or something to that effect.

Now granted I was 32 before I had my first girlfriend and I'm currently single. But I have had two and both were gamers (I was the first boyfriend of my second girlfriend).

I've wondered if the stereotypes are true and I haven't seen any data. But how many people who play traditional table-top, pen and paper, "real" roleplaying games are unmarried adult loners? Just want to see. If there is a poll that did this earlier, please let me know.

I would give you experience points for finally mentioning that book, but the system says I gave you some before. It is a good read even if you already play RPGs.

A long time ago I joked about making a 2nd Edition game that was all half-races: Half-elf, Half-ogre, Half-elf, Mul, Half-Satyr, Half-dryad, the various types of Half-dragons, Mongrelmen, Spirit Folk, etc. I had done some work on it, but haven't done anything since.

What? Call them Player Char Toons. :p

This is a tabletop RPG forum, we refer to them as characters or PCs, not toons.

Funny, a friend of mine was studying Old Icelandic and told me they had about 50 words for different types of axe strokes. So that's incredibly appropriate.

The original Adventure! would work. Get ahold of the 2nd Edition Vampire Player's Guide and the Trinity Technology Manual and modify them a bit for WWII equipment. Or the Adventure d20 book with the Polyhedron copy of V is for Victory (or Weird War II).

Civilization (not Sid Meier). My ex-girlfriend loved the game, but a game could take 12 hours easy. We would play and I would cook for everyone which irritated her because it took away from the game (she had Aspergers and didn't understand why everyone just didn't pack some easy to eat food...
