[QUOTE="Frostmarrow, post: 46430, member: 1122"] I'm rather proud of being a gamer. The people I work with know next to nothing about RPGs. Some of them, the ones I like, I try to educate. I tell them what RPGs are in the mystical way they already have been told. I never start; "Well, its like theatre only..." I say that it's the future. We shape the future. "I'm going to Narnia this week-end, do you want me to get you something?" I might quip on friday afternoon. A friend asked me to come and visit him. I told him I couldn't because it was gaming night. He asked what was so important about gaming night and I said: "Well, if you can get seven guys together at the same time for twelve hours straight, you'd better come. Besides, you don't want Milton Drac to finish that lighthouse, now do you?" "Hum, I guess not." I hint that they have been left out of this huge community with intellectual riches they never will get access to. I brag about the coherency of boys from around the globe. How, we instictively know each other even before we meet for we have common language, a common basis for communication (DMG and PHB). (I'm not sure but I imagine that gamers are welcome at other gamer's? Say, I travel to Germany, do you think any germans here could provide room and board for me?) Actually, I'm making them quite jealous. I never invite them. I don't want them in my game I just want them to know. Perhaps, they think I'm a geek but I really don't care much. I have self-esteem coming out my ears. I know they miss out on something great and I can't help tempting them a bit. They are intrigued but they will have to explore it for themselves. As a gamer I take credit in the making of LotR and even StarWars. I take pride in both StarTrek and Buffy. I think to myself. "I didn't exactly write that bit but I know where the inspiration comes from." [/QUOTE]
