    More geeks! :joy: Ps4 gamer girl here (Borderlands 2, ESO, Zen Pinball, Diablo III, DA:I, Netflix :tongue: ), Joss Whedon fan, Tamora Pierce reader, sorted into Slytherin, former convention attending Otaku (now I don't watch/attend much), slow Japanese learner, and just overall sci-fi/fantasy lover.

    I'm very active on MFP, and would love more Heroes of the Geekdom to join me in The Quest! (man, I really wanted a second season of that... I cried when they revealed the castle.)

    My hubby and I are looking into joining a community D&D group at our local game store. We're kind of nervous, though, as we've only played with friends before. Anyone have any experience with this? How did it go?

    Never started a new group through a gaming store, but if it's a good gaming store, it might be a good experience. It's always helpful to expand the group of D&D friends for new game experiences!


    Also, just posting this here because I see several people playing DA:I. If you play the Trespasser DLC (and you totally should, even with Bioware's STAB-TWIST moment), let the credits roll. You'll get a preview of Varric's new book and it's HILARIOUS!

    Tamora Pierce is my all-time favorite author! I think I have read ALL of her books! <3

    YAY! Another fan! The only one I haven't read yet is Battle Magic! I have it, just haven't sat down with it since I moved. I have all of her books, and now I'm going through and collecting first editions and cool hardback cover art editions. I even have a couple signed!

    I'm impatiently waiting for Tris's new book at the academy to come out! She's one of my favorite characters!

    @rbratt06 Never actually done myself but it's a good idea! I'm nervous at the thought though too, I've never played and I'd be going in solo o.o Talk about having to overcome introverted social anxiety XD

    @Saeraphine Welcome, nice to have you! It's been pretty amazing, seeing how many other geeks and nerds and generally awesome people have responded :smiley: And can I just say, very jelly of the PS4 >.> I'm mainly a PC gamer nowadays but... *sigh*... the PS4 looks soooo nice!

    Hello everyone! This thread is awesome. So many people into similar interests. I myself love gaming either video games or tabletop, although haven't had much time lately to play. I am into anime, sci fi, fantasy, comics, tcg, and I love Doctor Who. I'm always looking for something new and would eventually like to be able to cosplay at a convention when I lose some weight.

    Huh. I wonder if my FFXI linkshell is still playing GW2. I should check that out! I've actually got Star Wars Old Republic and Elder Scrolls Online right now. They're both free to play now, which is kinda cool, but I hate not having anyone to play with.

    @dubird You played FFXI? That's awesome! I played for 10 years! I sadly left after most of my friends did and I was left in pretty empty linkshells.

    So... We went to check out a group yesterday that had two open slots. When we got there, they said that their table was full and wouldn't even let us watch. My husband and I were so embarrassed (and upset because the game store was a half hour away).

    So we're thinking of making our own group on Roll20 (D&D E5). My hubs is a great DM, so if anyone wants to join our campaign, please message me! :)

    @Kuresai Glad to have you! Sending an add your way, the more geeks on my f-list the better ;)

    @orochiwarrior Dang everytime someone says anime I think of the growing list of stuff I need to watch XD Adding you!

    @lydiakatlough Gamer girls ftw! Added :smile:

    @knowles1989 Technically I'm on Playstation (PS3), but I'm rarely on it XD

    @rbratt06 Ugh that sucks! I've never played tabletops before, so if you don't mind having a total nub I'd be up for trying :smiley:

    Yeah, I miss it! Never did get to finish the Wings of the Godess expansion, though we did finish Prometha. Holy crap, that was an awesome final battle! Still have the screenshots. XD I miss my linkshell now. *lesad*

    Hey that's okay! We have premade characters on hand, so all you would have to do is make an account on Roll20 (it's free, no worries). And, if you could help recruit two more people, we'd be golden! :D

    Hey :)
    I am also a fellow gamer girl/short *kitten*/wannabe geek. I wouldn't say I'm the sharpest tool in the box but I love all things science related and I'm a bit of an astronomy geek :) I'm a big gamer and it's nice to see a fellow zelda fan on here! Also, I love anything paranormal/zombie related or just anything scary! Looking forward to the new series of the walking dead (hopefully they will pick it up this season as I was very disappointed by the last few episodes). I am also very much into my photography at the moment so any fellow photographers also feel free to add me too :)
    This is my second time using this app and I'm feeling much more confident this time round, ready to shed some fatty rolls :)

    Geek/photography nut here, and I'm always looking to meet others who share the obsession.

    @SimoneCrazy Done and done! No need to be any specific type of geek or nerd, don't even have to be either. I totally understand that motivation can be difficult to find sometimes, and one of my biggest inspirations have been my MFP pals. Knowing we're in the same boat and having similar challenges AND victories has helped keep me focused, hopefully it'll encourage you too!

    @sbmcm Photography! I've always wanted to get into it, welcome aboard :smiley:

    @FitGeekery Thanks! And you should, it's beyond addictive (fair warning though: gear envy is brutal...and the lens wish lists never end). But I love it, and I would never go back. :smile:

    Gamer girl here, though PC only ( can't figure out controllers) I play Rift, WoW, Diablo III, Heroes of the Storm, LoL, played Eve for a bit. Love to read, favorite movies LOTR, Star Wars Trilogy, Last 5k I ran was the zombie run in Dallas but I much rather would have been a zombie. Firefly and Serenity rawk. Add me if you would like!

    Just thought I would mention the zombies run training app instead of doing c25K, you might enjoy the storyline and get a kick out of it

    OMG NERDGASM a zombie run training program!! Lookin' it up right now!

    @rungrrl PC master race ftw? XD A zombie run sounds awesome, I don't think there are any local ones here but I'll have to look it up.

    And YES there are zombie running apps! The original is called "Zombies, Run!" which is a mix of a game, running app and a radio drama. You play the role of a 'runner' in the zombie apocalypse, doing missions each 'episode' when you run. As you run you also gather random resources so you can upgrade your people's base and you can turn on 'zombie chases' so that you'll suddenly encounter a horde and have to speed up to get away XD There are 3 full seasons out (it IS a paid app, but well worth it imo) and they're into their 4th season already.

    The latest app the same people came out with is a 5K trainer which I plan on starting soon. Similar idea as the first but specifically for training you to run over 8 weeks. I plan on starting it soon myself, and I realized that once I've finished and can use the main app, I'll have nearly a year's worth of episodes to go through... so stoked XD

    Best. App. Ever. And the first three seasons are free now, though if you bought the app before then, you can unlock one episode of the fourth season for free once a week. Since I'm only in second season, I should have them all unlocked and ready to go when I get there.
