[QUOTE="shadow, post: 1770240, member: 2182"] The most interesting person I gamed with was a girl whom I shall simply call "S". I met S one morning at my high school's game club. I soon learned that she was despised by a large portion of the student body because she was (among other things) overweight, physically unattractive, and generally nerdy. Being somewhat of a nerdy outsider myself, I took pity on her. Seeing that she was a big fan of fantasy literature, I naturally introduced her to Dungeons & Dragons. She soon seemed to be pretty obsessed with the game, relentlessly asking me questions about every minute detail. That should have been a tip off to me, but I ignored it figuring serious gamers were hard to find in my high school. S soon started reading Forgotten Realms novels. She then started writing (bad) fan-fiction featuring her character having a relationship with Drizzt. Finally, she stated that she [i]was[/i] her character on the parallel Forgotten Realms plane. My "alter" on the Forgotten Realms was, of course, Drizzt. (I'm male, btw, so you can see where this was headed!) She also stated that she was worshipping the Forgotten Realms goddess Meilikki. I later learned that she had mental health problems and started seeing a psychiatrist. Still, to this day I cringe when I hear of the Drizzt novels! [/QUOTE]
