I will not advertise it, if not asked I will not tell. Call that a closet gamer all you want, I do not lie about it either.
That said, I've been "outed" in some amazingly public ways. The only people who knew I've played D&D and other RPGs were my brothers, parents, and one aunt and one uncle, and the handful of friends I played with since high school.
At my wedding reception my best man (my roommate at the time), toasting my wife and my marriage, in front of hundreds of relatives and friends of both of ours, announced to all that my wife and I met at a D&D convention.
Got a huge chuckle, but it wasn't wrong. My bride and I both looked at each other and gritted our teeth. Truth of it is that it was a sci-fi authors convention.
Six of one, half-dozen of the other, maybe. I would have happily told everyone we met at a sci-fi convention, but I had no intention of telling any of them I was a D&D gamer, especially since there were a few there who held negative views of D&D.
Ah well. We're still happily married 13 years later, now with our second child (just turned 5 months old).
