Have you ever heard a young lady say she likes nerdy guys? When she says that she means a hipster-nerd who likes the Lord of the Rings trilogy but also enjoys football and the ability to lift over 35 lbs. Gamemaster may not fit that description. I believe he meets the truest, original description of nerd, ala Revenge of the Nerds. Based on the few nerderific photos he posted I gather he could easily have been cast in either of those fine cinematic works. And that, my friends, is just based on the photos.
I read on into his profile to find his nerd-alert riddled "about me" section:
He plays RPGs: nerd translation - role playing games, of the Dungeon and Dragons variety. I may be confused about my nerd gaming, but I'm willing to bet he plays as a dwarf based on his Match.com screen name!
He plays tabletop games: nerd translation - I don't know how these differ from RPGs, but apparently they do and I am not quite nerdy enough to understand the complexities;
He reads sci-fi and fantasy fiction: this isn't that bad because Game of Thrones is all the rage amongst nerd and nerd-posers, alike, but coupled with the above . . .

Ok, this is just too much nerdery for me to put in one blog post. But worry not, for we are going out for drinks! Next week - place and time to be decided. I'm holding out for Medieval Times! Fingers crossed!
I recommend reading Ready Player One in preparation for this one. You'll have something to talk about. I'm all into fantasy/sci-fi books these days, you should try it!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I totally read that book! I was thinking more of dragons and elves and what-not, but maybe we are a match made in futuristic heaven!
DeleteNeed I explain the difference between an RPG and a table top strategy game?
