Raise your hand if you're a recovered, recovering, or currently addicted gamer...

I see your d20 and raise you 2 d10s

"Aight, I put on my robe and wizard hat".

...Rifts and a bit of AD&D, before entering the 12 step program for recovering gamers.

You?

*shakes head at all the nonsense and hauls out a half dozen cubes*

Obviously you gents haven't progressed to GURPS yet.

There's a 12-step?!

Nah, I don't have it bad. I'm running one D&D game, playing in another, plotting as a co-DM for a third... And my GURPS is currently on hold. Well under control

Of course, that doesn't count the off-table time spent on the game...

Now the guy DMing the one I'm playing in... he's got it bad. He just picked up a handful of off-sided polyhedrals. He's got a D3 (not just a D6 with 1-3 written twice, an actual d3...), d5, d7, d14, and a d30. Poor guy. Oh and a d100. Can't forget the d100. Fricken thing never stops rolling.

Back in the day, another DM I was playing with used his d100 as a stand-in mini for a dracolich. A player had to roll some save-versus-death-or-die roll, and just grabbed the d100. He died. Remember kids, don't roll the dracolich.

GURPS . . . pshaw.

(let the religious RPG flamewar begin!)

just kidding. DnD 3.5 (dragonlance and pathfinder). In the olden days, DnD, ADnD, 2ndEd, 3rdEd, Gamma World, Traveler . . .

Holy.....

I knew gamers were, ah, um, unusual people, but really. I'm surprised the OP even had to ask if it was ok for kilts.....

Game On!

It involves four different girls, because girls > bunch of other nerdy guys. Most people's treatment regimen begins in college, but if you're lucky and can find a ren fair near you, treatment can involve your fellow nerds, if you don't get caught up with a female of the species and find yourself producing more ren fair volunteers

. I had good success with treatment at my local ren fair...while it was far from a complete treatment regimen, the program staff were very supportive

.

Well, thank goodness for penicillin

.

an actual d3..

Pic??? d100 was always a joke to us...rolling it was a little like bowling, in that if you wanted it to stop, you had to aim for a wall, so it was always distracting. 5d20 was easier, and hey, +4 is +4, right?

The guys I gamed with were pretty relaxed for the most part, which is probably why we all fell so easily to the siren call of feminine curvature

Yeah, we're different.

But it's cool.

Er, I still play AD&D (1E) about once a month, and I do own the infamous 'golf-ball' d100, though my d3 is just a double-numbered d6!

Back in the day I played AD&D, had all the books, dice, hand painted miniatures, etc... 16th level wizard with an 18x99 intelligence and a 12th level Palladin with an 18x98 strength, 20th level thief with more magic than one character could reasonably carry. Did the gaming, and gaming conventions, with a lot of my buddies for several years. Even did the dress-up costuming for some of the gatherings (had a dead ringer outfit for my wizard miniature and character). Played a few conventions in Lake Geneva in the early days with DMs the likes of Roger Moore and Gary Gygax themselves, and stayed in the home of the guy who ran the old D&D gaming store on the corner of the main drag in Lake Geneva (it is an ice cream shop now). Those were the days. Showing up kilted would have been worth extra points back then as I imagine it would now.

When I saw this title at first I was thinking about gambling type gaming, you know, Las Vegas, and then pictured myself sitting at a black jack table in Caesars Palace in my best kilt and watching the looks as folks wandered by. I guess most impressive would be the size of the pile of chips in front of me-------yeah, right.
