The Geek Hierarchy

Apparently videogamers rank themselves less geeky than roleplaying gamers, at least everyone consider themselves less geeky than furries...

Ren faire fan/occasional comic book fan/anime fan who prefers subtitles/roleplaying gamer/heinlein fan/amateur RPG/fantasy author.

So first or second row in almost every column. That said, I'm glad they didn't include 'people who blow $150 and hundreds of hours so he can write more realistic RPG rules' or I would've been sunk.

Looking at shelf full of Janes books and other equipment reference manuals, Human anatomy books, and a medical manual about the effects of gunshot wounds.

"I wouldn't know anything about that"

I might argue to make the arrow between Larpers and P&P gamers a double ended one.
There have been moments in the last few years where I have really wanted to club a player with a length of pvc.

I'm all over the map. Not furry, but you could call me fur-friendly. That, and I do academic research in game development processes, and the application of rules-based AI to pen-and-paper RPG rules development is going to be my doctoral thesis. I think that makes me the Overgeek or something. Hell, I think I'm geekier just for making up the word Overgeek. LOL. :P

but you can definately get a better snap and crack out of rattan than you can the BBB, plus you dont have to worry about damaging the book, versus just adding a layer of duct tape to the rattan.

me, Fur friendly, fanfic writer, can take or leave subtitles, never tries artwork, trekkie, with books that they have based a sci-fi channel show on, can larp or pnp, only occasionally edge into the erotic storylines and my character has always been based off me so i'm guilty of putting myself in my stories.

...ahh, you must be referring to the Hero System core rules. Have them, wish somebody around here (Portland) liked playing Supers. Man using that book to beat players with rates at least as an 8d6 Killing attack.

I'll have to say that it's 24d6 Normal damage. Then again that'll kill most people regardless.

That list doesn't work if you happen to be a furry that is also a published sci-fi author.

Hmm. They left out board games, card games, collectible card games, miniatures games, and collectible miniatures games.

whats interesting is that the lines are double arrowed when connecting to furries, indicating that furries thing every one is more geeky than they are, and every one thinks they are less geeky than furries.
