It's so cool having the mines of Moria on my right thigh. Anyone can add me, by the way!
Ok 1, let's address those leggings. I need them in my life. 2. Yes to all your fandoms.
I have a matching skirt, too

I loved it but it is only as good as your DM.
That was always the case, but the problem most of us had at the time was that it was a pure money grab. Nothing was compatible between first and second edition. So you had people with hundreds and thousands invested, that basically told them to pound salt and ended up stopping, or just playing first edition only.

I fought it for awhile...but I was running out of book room too. Hubs picked me up a plain ol' Kindle just to read. If I was home it was in my hands. One thing I love about it, is that it opens me up to so many other authors I never would have looked at before.0 -

LOTR, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Outlander....

I love Doctor Who, Supernatural, HP, gaming and a lot more. I even hand make miniature replica of various props from my favorite fandoms in the form of jewelry. Everyone here should friend me!

I'm aiming for a pinup pageant this summer at a rockabilly car show
Looks like you got it going on pretty well there!0 -

It's a shame really. But it's true. It's all about the money.0 -

Aha, we're the same age! Me too, yeah, was big into lots of TSR games in the early '80s.
I didn't pay much attention after the company fell apart in the '90s. But very long story short, they're now owned by Hasbro. The fifth edition just came out and is being well-received:
dnd.wizards.com/
As of last summer, there's a really good boxed starter set for about $15, and then you have the Big Three books dropping now (Player's Handbook, DMs Guide, Monster Manual).
It's been really rewarding to be paying attention to this stuff again. The Reddit group is a good easy resource. The books are a blast to read, though I don't know if I'll be actually playing again (ever).

So nice to see so many fellow geeks here! I'm a huge fan of Doctor Who, Game of Thrones (books and show), Harry Potter (just the books), The Walking Dead, video games, reading, anime, and manga.
One of my main motivators for exercising right now is that I've banned myself from my PS4 until I've worked out for the day. And every second not playing Dragon Age Inquisition is a second wasted.0 -

This. Is. So. True.
Especially with all the side quests they have you do now. Holy crap.0 -
Another nerd/geek here, I've been catching up on The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones lately during my workouts. I've got 3 episodes of BSG left to watch with my wife and I'm trying to get her to get into Doctor Who, but every episode is a zombie or ghost (alien) and she's not a fan of the supernatural.
I'm a Marvel/X-Men Zombie, started collecting comics again after a ten year break.0 -
Last games I played were on NES/Super NES - Super Mario, Tiny Toons Adventure, The Adventures of Bartman, Super Mario Bros. Although, I used to love playing Tekken and Street Fighter at arcades.
However, I'm a big tv/movie/music/book nerd. I Love Lucy, The Munsters, 30 Rock, Parks and Rec, Doctor Who, STNG, ST Voyager, and yes - I love Star Wars even though I love Star Trek lol. Supernatural, Psych, American Horror Story (all of them), The Originals, Vampire Diaries (guilty pleasure - I judge myself for watching it), Being Human, Heros, Lost, Brooklyn 99, I'm going to stop myself before I continue with tv shows then start on movies. Classics to musicals to dramas to comedies to action to sci fi to fantasy to superheros...I think Lonely Island would call me a "cinephile".
*stops self from writing more* Good day.0 -

Love love love Being Human (US version, never watched the UK)...and I recently made my kids watch West Side Story with me They were not as thrilled as I was, although I have gotten them into Star Wars and they liked the newer Star Trek movies.
Anyone else like the Clone Wars and Rebels?0 -
