Gamer stereotypes

[Arcane Runes Press]

Eventually I'll be the 50-yr. old wargamer guy. Then what?

D&D 5th edition is made out of people! It's made. OUT. OF. PEOPPPPLLLLLEEEE!

Indeed, stating your IQ on a pubic forum does imply a certain amount of social retardation.

Damn...Now I have to expose my own retardation by admitting that I laughed at your misspelling of "public".

ENWorld is a pubic forum?

Must have happened so gradually that I didn't even notice.

It's true you don't see many gamer women. In fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for gamer men. It's the beards.

I'd be worse than Tewligan, since I read that post, didn't catch the misspelling...then laughed until I cried when Tewligan pointed it out. *sigh* Only telling everyone my IQ score would make me feel better at this point...

Antisocialites? But don't they know that RPGs are a social activity?

Hello.

I am female, I am not a Goth, do not have a lazy eye, am not overweight and generally only sweaty when in the gym, very, very hot days, and in situations that are none of your business , am not a very skimpy dresser (although I consider myself not-unattractive, and according to my present man and ex-boyfriends, am fairly attractive), do not have a beard , was a gamer for years before dating a gamer, and have non-gamer friends and interests, including bar hopping and other things that gamers stereotypically don't do.

Where are the "normal" females in your lists?

Goddess, normal females in gaming are so rare, that they're the exception to every rule. Whenever I see a normal (or even hot) female at GenCon, I just assume that either A) they are someone's girlfriend/wife, B) is a booth babe, or C) a call girl hired by a gamer trying to look impressive.

If you're none of those (which I assume that you aren't), then you are truly unique.
