[QUOTE="johnnype, post: 3012182, member: 1944"] I don't tell people I'm a gamer. Period. Yes, I'm a closet gamer, and yes, my wife knows and so do my close friends but that's about it. I'm a finacial planner by trade and it just wouldn't sit well with my collegues, let alone my clients, to know that I spent my free time reading RPG books. Say what you will about being true to yourself but there are a lot, and I mean A LOT, of people out there who will immediately see you for less than you are worth if they find out you like RPG's. The rebel out there may not care but I do. It has a direct impact on my carreer and thereby my pocket book. I make a good living. A very good living. But it's no thanks to RPG's. That I guarantee you. Yes, I'm a closet gamer and I know I will continue to be that way for a long time. I should add, however, that I don't really see myself as JUST a gamer. My interests are far and wide and I don't like to be stereotyped by those who are ignorant about the hobby. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
