I've been gaming for 15 years, and I've never done anything like that.

171. You take an old established campaign world, study every detail and then worship it. Then you trash anything that isn't in the original as not being "canon." Make sure to monitor discussions about the campaign world to make sure that any comments about this world fit your definition of "canon."

172. You've picked a campaign world and decide to hate it. Bonus points if you've actually never looked at it. On message boards be sure to log onto any discussions even slightly dealing with this campaign world and post about how horrible it is.

173. You trash any and all campaign worlds that are Tolkeinesque or medieval in flavor. If it doesn't have some strange or off-the-wall bits, complain that it's boring.

174) You have ever LARPed

175) You LARPed and got seriously mad at players who joked around out of character during a game

176) You go to a con and are genuinely excited to have your picture taken with a washed up supporting actor from a long-dead fantasy or sci-fi series, who now gets by doing dinner theatre gigs and convention signings. For example: the guys who played "Boomer" (Herb Jefferson, Jr.) and "Jolly" (Tony Swartz) on Battlestar Galactica.

177) You actually know the above actors' names...

177a) "Ensign Greenbean" doesn't count cause he was played by moviestar "Ed Begley, Jr."

178) You own a cheesy RPG bumper sticker (ex: "Dragons do it Better", "When I die, they'll have to pry the d20 from my cold stiff fingers, etc.) and actually stuck it someplace where people could read it and know it was yours.

179) You go to the convention dressed in costume (overweight dwarf, overweight boba fett, overweight ninja, etc) and then openly regard people dressed as furry anime critters as "freaks."

180) You have ever even *considered* naming a PC "Frodo", "Conan", "Gandalf" or "Morgan Ironwolf".

181) You have ever even *considered* naming a family pet one of the above...as in "hello, this is my pet hamster, Morgan Ironwolf"

182. You have described in great detail the deaths of Elminster or Drizzt to your PCs simply because you hate those characters so much and wanted to eliminate any chance of them appearing in your campaign.

183. You weren't even playing a Forgotten Realms campaign.

184. You hate any D&D product released by someone besides WOTC.

185. You hate any D&D product released by WOTC.

186. You write up a ten-page history of your character, then act disappointed when the DM dosen't have him in the spotlight every second.

187. You refuse to participate because the game is d20-based and get disappointed when no one wants to participate in your pre-planned 20 sessions campaign of a game nobody owns.

189. You claim that you are ill in order to have friends come over to your house and persuade you to come along anyway.

190. You sigh everytime it's your initiative because "I can't do anything anyway..."

191. You insist on using dice as monster markers despite the fact the club sports a beautifully painted collection of 200+ minis.

192. You go on a suicidal killing spree if your primary weapon gets destroyed.

193. You chose to play a divinely beautiful woman suffragette, if you are a man.

194. You can't participate because you promised your spouse that Saturday is "cuddle day".

195. You seek inspiration on snobby role-players among your gaming buddys.

196. You report daily on what's going on at EN-boards to your gaming buddys. "Someone on the Internet said..."
