Out of the dice bag? (secrecy and D&D)

[Xeriar]

You guys make me feel bad.

I tell people I am at game night, but if they ask what we play, I lie. I tell them card and board games. So many people I know bad mouth the hobby and I just don't advertise it. My wife tells them all I am playing D&D, so they all eventually find out, but the next time it comes up, I say cards and boardgames. I am so weak.

Eventually I just didn't care anymore.

Mom: "You -STILL- play D&D?"

Me: "Yup."

hehehe.

When asked, I'll say it's gaming night. If asked what game, I'll say D&D/Shadowrun/L5R/whatever it happens to be.

Sometimes when talking about another RPG and they compare it to D&D I will make some funny psuedo-snob combat 'but that's like calling a good walleye a sunfish!' or something like that.

Me: Sorry, man, I can't... the big game is that night.

Boss: Which big game?

Me: Cormyr vs. Zhentil.

Boss: Never heard of em'. East coast schools?

Me: Yes.
