[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8884267, member: 67338"] Stranger things and Big Bang theory and any other 'nerd' exposure needs to choose to make a fake TTRPG or take D&D if they want to communicate that through nerdom... because nobody would get "Tonight is Rifts night" Having said that I get mad enough at nerd culture on TV shows not getting it... I am watching an older show called Scorpion and one of the nerds role plays... they HAVE to all dress in character to play, they ALL are 30 something losers who can't talk to women, they talk in nerdy code and voice in front of people and weird them out... and when they went to the renfair for that guys birthday the ren fair was full of weak nerd stero types... My fiance asked if my games ever were like that and I said "I had women in my second campaign, and 80% of campaigns up until covid... some of the players of the game were 'playas' some were 'jocks' and none of us grew up to be adults like that..." when they got to the ren fair and criminals showed up I lost it... "Dude I promise you those criminals would get beat the hell up... don't mess with Rennieys" [/QUOTE]
