My love of gaming usually comes out on the first day. "Here's my name. Here are some things I like to do." I had someone last class ask what I did yesterday. My response was "Gaming. Stuff like D&D." It wasn't D&D, but that's usually the easiest thing for someone to understand. A few of my students actually know what I'm talking about, and I play with a previous student who graduated last year. I don't worry about it.Actually, there was a Nerd Day at school a few years back, and I brought some D&D books and put out an announcement that I would run a game during lunch. It was shot down over the phone shortly before lunch with a "We don't do that here." I'm fairly certain he was talking about kids leaving lunch to play a game, rather than specifically D&D.My family knows. I don't know if all of my aunts or uncles do, but that's mainly because it doesn't tend to come up. I wouldn't have a problem being straightforward with it. It's the same for the other teachers. A few of them know. One even played when he was younger. But most don't. Then again, I don't even know most of the teachers in the school, so that shouldn't be much of a surprise.Ultimately, I would never hide it if asked, and I usually allow it to come out in a conversation if it would add anything.</blockquote>
