I took my niece down to the big local park a few weeks back. In one of the pavilions there was an SCA-type group. Half of them were in nerd tshirts, half of them in garb, complete with one (1) woman in a belly dancing outfit. They were trying to dance along with her, except this one dude with a sword on his waist (no swordbelt) and a cloak (baby's blanket?) clearly moving to his own beat. My niece stopped to look and the exact exchange follows: LOOK! That knight's dancing! Yeah, yeah he sure is. .... he's so awkward. *keeps walking*she'll be 4 next month. i think she'll be ok in life

Meh, other than the scarlet blade guy this doesn't even hit the -3 on the lovely denizens of a gaming store scale. Come back after you find someone who thinks he has a demon inside of him.

Trixie Hardcore posted:Nice try OP but there's no such thing as a Tabletop Gaming Store. Pretty much every AD&D/Warham store has become a board game store now. poo poo is a thing, and really big now. I guess beer pong got boring.

Jesus H Christ. It's almost like some rear end in a top hat company looked at those creepy Nexus Skyrim mods and decided to make a profit by copy and pasting them over WoW. In fact now I'm a bit ashamed I even played WoW if this is considered an MMO.

A guy who went into a store so he could buy a game in which he can pretend to be a make believe werewolf is ridiculing other nerds for their nerd poo poo? That is hilariously rich. Why don't you just play settlers of catan or something that won't make you look like a total dork dweeb(relatively speaking). A dwork if you will.

Faux-rear end Nonsense posted:are these games really that good?is it worth associating yourself with all the horrible stuff that seems to invariably come with the whole experience? See if you have any friends that play RPGs, and see if you can join their game. IMHO, it's best to play with friends. When you read horror stories about weird neckbeards with fetishes and poo poo like that, the first mistake is playing with people you've never met before. On whether RPGs are good or not is a matter of personal opinion, though.

RagingBoner posted:I went to the local tabletop gaming store the other day for the first time in over a decade (the last time was during my D&D nerd phase). I was trying to pick up a copy of One Night: Ultimate Werewolf (a quick-playing Mafia-type game that I played at a party and really liked). The last time I was in this store, it was full of Warhammer and D&D pieces, was run by a friendly older fat guy, and had a room in the back for local gaming groups.

Gross Dude posted:I work in a game shop on the weekends. I confirm it all. The owner's of the shop I work at are actually really outgoing and nice, and about 20 percent of the player base is just normal people. 50 percent are nerds that I'd never want to hang out with outside of the store, but are fine in small doses. Gross, dude Sancho posted:It's like how every goon thinks they're just some lofty outsider that paid $10 and is not a true goon. You can tell when they say "those goons" or "goons verb" or other 3rd person phrase instead of we or us

Haverchuck posted:I worked with a dude who you'd never guess to be a tabletop gamer, he was a normal, working class guy probably in his late 30s, wife and kids, pretty unassuming. DnD came up in conversation one day and he invited me to his monthly DnD night, which was like a casual social gathering with other old school nerd men. I never went but I should have, and its cool that there are 'on the DL' carlos the dwarf type guys walking around in broad daylight. Do you think he was a Harris Trinsky type who just grew up into normal adulthood, or was he just an open-minded James Franco all along? I work with a guy who's a legit cool dude with many interests, and one time we were talking about adolescence and he said, "when I was in middle school I was pretty into Dungeons and Dragons, but then I reached this point where I could throw a lot of money into getting all the books and disappear into that world entirely, or I could throw all that effort into dating and baseball and stay regular. I chose girls."

At my local gaming store there is a Warhammer player who is the most spherical person I have ever seen. He's amazing, it doesn't seem possible but it's right there.

It was like something they took up strictly for the purpose of trying to say "See, I'm not a complete nerd!"

Great, I had to read this thread first thing in the morning on my day off. Now I feel an obligation to download Scarlet Blade. edit: The downloader for Scarlet Blade has no way to pause, and crashes if I minimize it. Also it has a picture of two women wearing Chinese knock off Daft Punk masks that look like they're covered in Vaseline.
