See, I'd rank a nerd as worse than a geek. I'd say that a geek is someone who plays D&D and watches Doctor Who. A nerd is someone who thinks he's an elven Time Lord. Also, I'd like to point out the major difference between the two: Nerds are smart.

How about the geek who invents terminology to describe other geeks?

And truly, he was the Lord of the Geeks. All lesser Geeks bowed down to him as their master.

Embrace the geek, man. Accept it - learn to tame the geek within, make it your friend. We are all geeks - you are among your people. It's time to face up to who you are...

What's the dumbest argument with a PC or DM you've had regarding something scientific, ie. what a player can and can't do according to the laws of physics/time/causality, whatever. For me, it is STARP's infamous "Napalm" argument. We will call the DM 'Mac'. I am playing, as is my friend, who...

Well, maybe not. I know I am. But I'm sure there are two or three people around here who have hundreds of friends and were really popular at school. Anyone...anyone...hello? Anyway, I'd like you please to inform everybody of the geekiest thing you have ever said or done. This game will rub off...

I like it plucked, hung, stuffed with sage, oven roasted, then served with potatoes and button mushrooms. Oh, COMBAT, sorry. I thought you asked me how I liked my WOMBAT. I'm terribly sorry...

Half-dragon warmage. Called himself a giant though, to confuse the dumb paladin. Died.

Something like that happens to a mate of mine with depressing frequency. He fails saves, spellcraft checks, caster checks, ability checks, skill checks - every time. But the one time he needs to roll well, he does. Classic example: He and his party, back in the old 2E days, are fighting a...

Another campaign I was in jumped the shark when the GM tried to railroad and failed miserably. It was a Shadowrun game, and by all accounts a pretty standard one. The thing about Shadowrun is, played as it is, it gets kinda dull pretty quickly. We'd begun to realise this and thought we should...

Er...is that good?

Ours sort of grew organically. STARP started with about six members - we're up to 12 now without really trying. It just sort of happened. We did have to change what the acronym stood for, however, to take geography into account.

I saw a guy on TV wearing a "Dungeon Master" T-shirt. He was on a gameshow. The host asked why he was wearing it and he said that all his friends thought he was cool for getting onto the show, so he thought he'd wear that T-shirt and prove them wrong.

This forum is either: a) an opportunity for you to air legitimate grievances against current or past DMs whose campaigns have become other than that which they started out as; b) a chance for any DMs here to reflect with criticism on their past mistakes; c) the perfect place to bitch about your...

Well...I think you made your point, one way or another...

Doesn't that make rogues incredibly powerful? A 10th-level rogue, with the right two-weapon feats, could be attacking up to five times a round, doing more than 30 points each time - 150 points a round.

Your spells stay prepared after you're stones, but only if they were create munchies, stare at wall and giggle or listen to Phish. Oh, ha ha ha, I'm so witty. I can predict with 100% confidence nobody else has ever made that joke before...

The book seems a little vague on exactly how often a rouge...sorry, a rogue can use Sneak Attack. Is it an action or is it part of another action or what? Feinting in combat is a standard action, unless one has the Improved Feint feat (or is that the Improved Feat feint? Either way...), but what...

Maybe the coffee helped. Maybe the dice got hyperactive on caffeine? What? Why are you staring at me like that...?
