Oh Lord
Okay the things I will admit to in public:
Yes, I did a presentation on Battletech and Wargames in general: In College
When I rolled up characters I would use the 4d6 system and add all the numbers together. What was worse was that one of the die I used was the Warhammer die that was labelled "misfire", 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 (I treated the misfire as a "1"). This was about 2 years ago.
I would use the random monster table to fight creatures so I could level up.
Dead characters of mine would be "resurrected" when I went to a new gaming group.
I ran with DM's PCs (something I never do now).
I rarely ever prepare for any game I run.
I stole my teacher's original basic set (the one between the white box and the red box) and then multilated it, stealing only the reference page, the chits, and the monsters.
I perfer to work on gaming stuff than my research.
I own more roleplaying stuff than my FLGS currently keeps in stock.
And when I was a kid, I would swim naked after hours in the local kiddie pool and my church's baptismal.
