Ultimate Gamer!! GM says drop 2d10, aanndd... you roll 76% !

What, are you a first generation gamer? Did you own the brown box?! Whatever you do in your spare time, gaming seems to be your job. Either you looked up the answers or you're the best of the best, the type that makes other gamers strive to know more. Just don't let the knowledge overwhelm the newbies, it tends to push them from the hobby. We all bow before you. You are the living nat 20, congradulations. I'm going to flee the scene now ;)

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 99% on dice

Oh, and the answers are: yes, I'm a first-generation gamer (1979) and yes, I owned the Brown Box, with two of the first three supplements! (Somehow, I never managed to score a copy of the original Greyhawk.) Muwahahahaha! I remember the game shop in my town; it was six miles from where I lived and I rode my bicycle there on a regular basis, just to pick up new stuff, all through the eighties.

I was also a big boardgamer. My favorite game, even though I was terrible at it, was Ogre/GEV. I'm probably the last guy on the planet to remember the rules for ice & snow, satellite coverage, integrating Rivets into the game, and the formula for building a SuperHeavy Tank.

I got 96 %

And I didn't start until 1986...that's kind of, um, disturbing.

I'm 38, recall, and I was one of the geek kids even in middle-school. Hanging out and running around the silly dungeons they had back then was important stuff!

I got a 90%.

I've got a damn good excuse though, despite my age. My mother and stepfather wrote modules for ICE, most of my childhood memories come from their RPG circles, and my brother's currently an administrator on RPG.net. I was raised to know RPGs, yet rarely played/play them.

I got the same score - I know my 'early stuff' answers were right for much the same reasons.

I've got Ogre around somewhere. I wasn't so keen on GEV, but I'd like to see a copy of Rivets (and Chitlin) again.

Maybe...

...but hearing that someone else still has even the most vague of interests in Ogre/GEV makes me happy inside. I have the 'Deluxe' re-release SJ Games did a few years back, actually, but it's stored in a box somewhere due to a lack of anyone willing to play it with me in my area.
