Bulabase 06-18-04, 06:44 PM	How many of you keep your gaming hobby strictly segragated from your day to day life? You game with your friends on the weekend, but none of your coworkers/classmates know this about you and you actively try to keep it that way.
Shadow Weaver 06-18-04, 06:58 PM	My DM and I were made fun of by our (former) g/fs after we told them we play D&D. Now, whenever a girl is over, he always insists the books belong to his dad.
Shadowfoot 06-18-04, 07:59 PM	:raises hand: Only a few of my friends know about my hobby, and they know I'll kill them if they tell anyone outside that circle. I only spring it on people I date after a month or so, when it's too late to run from the geek they now love. I recently sat my boyfriend down to tell him the Big Geeky Secret I had been withholding from him (I always told him "it's as bad as being fluent in Klingon, but different, and I'll tell you when you're ready"). And before I could even utter what it was, he said "Dungeons and Dragons?" I thought he must have seen a book lying around somewhere and figured it out on his own, so I was momentarily relieved. Truth was, he was only joking, saying the geekiest thing he could think of and not imagining in a million years that that was actually it. "Yeah! You knew?" I said. "Knew what? You mean that's it?!? " "Oh, you were joking." I was a little humiliated. So I punched him. That is my way. I've come out of a few closets in my life, but D&D is still tucked behind the mothballs.
sacerd 06-18-04, 08:09 PM	Closet gammer?!? No way. And there is no need to beat up your boyfriends and hide from your girlfriends! I have found that choking them with 4 siders works wonders for their attitudes. Now if I can just find a way to cover up that smell comming from below my home...:) :whatsthis
ssvegeta555 06-18-04, 09:05 PM	Nope, I came out of the closet....... wait that didn't sound right. *clears throat* Ok, Every one that I know, knows that I play D&D. I thought people in my school would call me a geek or whatever. I quess it's how I look and act. I look like a stoner (even though I'm not) so I guess when people I know that I play they don't think it's a geek/nerd game anymore because I'm not a geek/nerd. I know one of my friends want to play who is a stoner. Though there was the occasional dork that made fun of me. I dont give a damn, because I'm a D&D dude.
Edymnion 06-18-04, 09:25 PM	Nope, the only games I've ever played in the closet aren't exactly suitable for publication on these boards. ;)
Tehril 06-18-04, 11:55 PM	Hmm... if a suitable walk in clostet with a window and ventilation could be found... with easy access to the washroom and kitchen... AND it must be large enough to sit several full grown adults and a table full of miniatures... then sure... a closer would work :) As it stands, we tend to play in the living room.
Ashrem 06-19-04, 12:36 AM	All my friends were video gamers before, so when I started getting into D&D and trying to make a gaming group they all joined in.
The Philosopher King 06-19-04, 01:50 AM	Well I see most of the good closet jokes have been taken, so I don't know what to say now. As to the separation between D&D and 'real life', that just happens because a lot of my friends aren't into the hobby, so it never really comes up with them. I don't actively try to hide it, nor do I actively inject it into every situation. Some of them might not even know. I refuse to be worried about what other people think to the extent of hiding my hobbies. If they think I'm a nerd, good. I am. In fact, I fully intend to be crowned King of All Nerds by the pope, Charlemagne style. Of course, I don't have a girlfriend, so.... maybe there is something in that closet thing after all ;)
Silverthrone 06-19-04, 02:26 AM	Nope, I don't hide it, and my words of advice to anyone who does: Don't. if someone's your friend or worth your time, they will not care. If someone disses you after you play, then their worthless, shallow scum in the first place and not worth your time. I like telling people I play, that way, it makes it easier for me to figure out who is beneath me (The ones who think there is something dorky about the whole thing.).
Dragonlover 06-19-04, 08:40 AM	Never been a closet gamer, never will be. If people don't like the fact I game, that's their problem, not mine. As for the whole girlfriend issue, I just went for the easy route and turned her into a gamer, along with my best mate and my sister. Oh, and Philosopher King? I'm King of the Geeks, which encompasses nerds. You can be a duke if you want though:D Dragonlover
ieattrollsforbreakfast 06-19-04, 09:00 AM	I dont hide it, but then I dont parade around with an 'I love D&D' t-shirt everywhere I go. If people ask, I tell them. If people dont, then I dont...unless I think they are into that kind of thing, and luckily a lot of my friends are.
Wizard 06-19-04, 09:03 AM	Mmm...in general, I hide it. And Shadowfoot...I wait TWO months. :)
Malyss the defender 06-19-04, 11:48 AM	I don't hide it and I don't see why I would.As silverthrone said,if someone is bothered because you play D&D,then they're not really your friend.Of course,I live in Québec where there is no "D&D is evil" stereotype.Most people don't really know what it is or simply don't care.
Bulabase 06-19-04, 12:01 PM	Let me first say that I am neither ashamed nor embarrased by my choice of hobby. I don't have to worry about the new girlfriend thing as I am married to a woman I met through a gaming buddy. She tried it out with him a long time ago and thinks it's kind of stupid, but that's how I feel about Hugh Grant movies, so I guess that balences things out. :) That being said, I just hate having to explain what it is that I do with my friends to those who don't already know what role-playing games are. There are so many false preconceptions that it has always seemed to be such an ordeal. Example 1: Coworker: Any plans for Friday night? Me: Yeah, I'm meeting some of my friends for a poker game. Cowerker: Cool, would it be alright if I joined you some time? Example 2: Coworker: Any plans for Friday night? Me: Yeah, I'm meeting some of my friends to play a role-playing game. Coworker: What's that? Me: You know, like D&D. (coworker gets a strange look on his face) Coworker: I didn't think you were one of those people. I would just as soon avoid this conversation if a all possible.
DevilKiller 06-19-04, 01:08 PM	Once I mentioned that I play D&D to a bunch of scifi fans I know, and they laughed at me. Imagine having a Trekky call you a nerd! Ok, these folks aren’t technically Trekkies, but they do go to many of the same scifi conventions(BaltiCon, WorldCon, ShoreCon etc). Apparently even nerds think D&D is incredibly nerdy. Most of my friends know I'm a nerd though. In fact, all of my close friends know that I play D&D. I actively hide my hobby from certain acquaintances and all of my coworkers though. I’d certainly never bring D&D up at work, even if there was some tie in or somebody else mentioned it first. Actually , although I play in 2 to 3 games weekly I don’t think any of my coworkers know about it. All they probably know about my personal life is that I’m a boxing fan. I don’t feel too weird about that though since most of the other guys are rabid sports fans too. They just tend to be more into other sports like baseball or hockey. My D&D hobby would be tough to explain, and it might damage my reputation. It is tough to work with people who don't respect you, and while you can choose your friends you can't always choose your coworkers.

roland the red 06-19-04, 11:30 PM	Lets see: The poster of the Minotaur and Roses I got out of an issue of Dragon is in my cubicle...a Lego Tie Bomber sits on top of the cubicle...I have character sheets in my top drawer...the SRD is in my "favorites" in my brower....Golem/Smeagol bookends decorate my book selections (all technical manuals...no really)... guess I am out of the closet
penguin973 06-19-04, 11:57 PM	well, my first true game is tommorrow evening. thereafter i will be a closet gamer.
Shapedoctor 06-20-04, 12:11 AM	I've never been in the closet. If somebody has a problem with anything I enjoy they can take a hike. Interestingly enough, I've never really gotten any sort of negative response that's worth remembering.
Ipsissimus 06-20-04, 12:25 AM	Let's just say, it usually doesn't come up when I'm talking to the ladies. Any other time when i'm hanging out with "my crew." It's not an issue. True Story: Me: Hi, I thought you might like this. (shows good drawing of girl at bar) Pretty girl at bar: (smile) wow, did you do this? Me: Heh, yeah. Do you like it? Pretty girl at bar: (smiling still) wow, how did you do it? (stares at napkin) Me: Well, with my hands of course. Pretty girl at bar: (smiling + laughter) that's so cool, is it for me? Me: Only if you tell me you name. Pretty girl at bar: (smiling) It's S'vetlana, please to meet you. Me: That's a pretty name, i'm "_______" I'm glad you like it. S'vetlana: So, what else do you draw then you're not drawing girls at bars? Me: Well...Since I love playing D&D, you know Dungeons and Dragons? I like drawing...um, hey where are you going? You forgot your napkin...damn she had nice eyes too. -- True story except the alternate ending, S'vetlana and I exchanged phone numbers and I did many more drawings of her and for her. Did she ever find out I play D&D? Nope, but she has a greater appreciation for fantasy artwork and knows what a beholder and a thrikreen is now.
Leibel 06-20-04, 07:04 PM	Do I seperate DnD from my regular life. Yes. Because I need to. Before I make any friend/girlfriend statements most of my friends are in Israel, New York, Boston or Baltimore(The reason I'm trying to get out Philadelphia) and I do not have a girlfriend(As an Orthodox Jew I can't date until I'm ready to get married - no dating for fun) I don't outright tell people I play DnD but if they ask "what are your hobbies" I usually describe the game and if they reject for me it I say big deal - I like knowing if people really like me or are just faking it. You should not be in a relationship w/someone who rejects you because of a game - It's say's that they are the shallow person not you. Also Trekkies calling DnD nerdy - After the debacles of DS9* and Voyager* + all that awful treknobabble I'd take it as a compliment. *DS9 is a B5 ripoff and Voyager is a lost in space ripoff
Edymnion 06-20-04, 07:16 PM	Originally posted by Leibel *DS9 is a B5 ripoff and Voyager is a lost in space ripoff And Enterprise is just a ripoff, period. Farther we get away from Gene's death, the worse Trek gets...
Mr. VanderMeer 06-21-04, 04:55 AM	My GF knows I play as does almost everyone I know. However it is not something I immediately bring up in conversation with people I meet. I do however not hide it, or my general preference for fantasy, sci-fi, mythology etc. My GF and many people I know think D&D is silly, but they don't think any less of me for playing.
Soichiro Arima 06-21-04, 10:40 AM	"Farther we get away from Gene's death, the worse Trek gets..." I disagree so much its not funny, Star trek was good for its time but I think the origonal series is a pile of tarrasque crap compared to the newer ones. I am not talking about speceil effects here, I'm talking about the social issues they are willing to do now and the multi-episode story archs, however I do think time travel is used to much in Enterprize. As far as being a closeted gamer goes I'm closeted for the most part, but not cause I play D&D if you catch my drift, the people I know know that I play D&D and they dont have a problem casue they play it too, I dont have many freinds I havent turned into D&D players.
ssampier 06-21-04, 11:28 AM	I'm suppose I could be considered a closet gamer, since I rarely game (lack of a consistant group) and I don't advertise the fact either. The majority of my friends do not game or read fantasy novels, but do everyday activities. We usually discuss history or computers. :behold:
Jongluer 06-21-04, 03:49 PM	I let my friends know that I play, its kind of obvious when you wear a shirt that says "Choose your Weapon" and above the words are a set of dice and are reading a rulebook. Besides, I have sort of stopped caring what other people say, so if they think its nerdy, geeky or dorkish, I laugh at them and go, "At least I am not the one who thinks they must wear matching outfits so they can be like rappers!"
Felonious Monk 06-22-04, 02:49 AM	I've never played a closet before. Is that a PrC? I avoid telling some people about it. But it's usually to avoid talking to people, not avoiding talking to people about D&D.
Midnight Lurker 06-22-04, 03:10 AM	I'm generally a "closet gamer" but not because I'm worried about people thinking less of me. It's mostly because of the few "rabid gamers" I've met. As soon as they know you play the game, that's all they want to talk about. As much fun as I have playing the game, I'd rather not talk about it all the time.
Big Dawg 06-22-04, 09:59 AM	I am but I am not. Let me explain: My friends both girls and guys know I play, i don't hide it from the ones that don't play at all. They don't care. When I first meet a Girl, I usually don't tell them right away. If they come over, the books, Dice, Minis...all go away. I don't bring it up because it's not a topic of interest to most girls. They don't understand so I don't try. After I get to know them better, I always tell them. If you are already with a girl then some playful poking fun is all you get and thats fine. 1st impressions are everything when it comes to women and I prefer to keep D&D out of that 1st impression. After I got em, I'll tell em and if they have a problem with it, I 86 em.

Jaer Tansden 06-22-04, 11:08 AM	Laying low and keeping that way. Half of the guys I game with let it out, the other half hide it away. Me, I cover it up like a Felony.
Pystian 06-22-04, 03:17 PM	Big Dawg, what does it mean to 86 someone? I'd like to keep my gaming in the closet, but there just isn't room, what with all the skeletons and all... Just kidding. I'm generally fairly open about my gaming, but when people ask my hobbies, I always swallow or sigh, knowing what I may be getting myself into.
Big Dawg 06-22-04, 03:25 PM	86'd means "To get rid of someone or something"
coolmanbob 06-22-04, 04:11 PM	Technically, yes, I am. But it's not for the standard reasons. If someone asks me if I play DnD, I tell them I've tried it, but I don't now. This is semi-true; I don't play it now, I've only been part of a few small campaigns, the only thing I don't tell them is that I'd like to start playing again. Another reason is where I live (suburb of Cincinnati) people here are not very prone to accepting new ideas (I live around a considerable number of southern-style confederates, for example) Also, There was a group last January who wanted me to play in their group. I agreed, and me and my friend (who had some experience with online-style RP, so this wasn't 100% new for him) played with the four veterans of the group. The problem was, they wouldn't let it down. 5th bell everyday, one of the idiots would sit there and call me a "cleric" (I was playing one) instead of my real name. They also brought their books to school, and wanted to play at lunch. Lunch is my time to eat and socialize, not play DnD. I don't care if they do it, but I really didn't want to. It got annoying after a while that they were being so fanboyish about DnD, I quit after the 3rd session, and have only played a couple games with my aoptive brother whenever I can visit my dad's house... But no, some of my friends know I own the DnD books, and others don't, but it wouldn't kill me if they did know.
Roxlimn 06-22-04, 04:29 PM	I'm not exactly a closet gamer, but I know of quite a few friends who are. Frankly, I've never had a problem with it. The fact that over 90% of the people around where I live know nothing about it probably helps. At the same time, it also helps not to be too technical in describing it. If asked what "role-playing" means, I try to match the descripton to the individuals. Sadly, most of the women I know and have dated wouldn't know the difference between a driving game and Warhammer 40K. It's all the same to them. To avoid the foggy eyes and glazed over looks, I just tell them that RPGs is sort of like chatting and talking, only it's about "historical combat and events". It could be, too. The subject very promptly shifts to another subject with none the worse for wear. With guys, it's a little different. Even the older men can empathize with how mainstream and addictive video games are, so I ask them what games they liked and describe it in those terms: "It's like a driving game except you can drive anything, customize your car and talk and get out of the car and stuff." "It's like Baldur's Gate except you can customize and create levels as you go along." "It's like the movies except you get to write the script." I get very little flak. Some of my friends like to not admit they play, though, on the premise that it complicates things. Can't imagine why.
Korhal IV 06-22-04, 06:41 PM	I'm not a closet gamer, and I don't have regrets about it. Well, a little, because a few people who don't know me well just assume everything I do is related to the game. :rolleyes:
Bewildered 06-22-04, 10:57 PM	one of my players doesnt let his parents know because his mom is insano baptist woman , so we just call it dd not D&D so when she asks we says DDR dance dance rev. so now she thinks he is controled by that game instead of D&D

That's awesome. I don't understand what the big deal is though. At my school, kids pretend they play D&D because they want people to think they're cool. The captian of the cheerleading squad got in a fight with our prom queen because both wanted to date the school's best DM.
Bewildered 06-27-04, 12:52 AM	The captian of the cheerleading squad got in a fight with our prom queen because both wanted to date the school's best DM thats great! lol i wish my school was like that

Now I suppose it could be possible, but the whole getting in a fight to date the best DM is just well, fake. Of course if you were joking then that was really funny, but you never know over the internet.
XZooDude 06-27-04, 12:12 PM	I would consider myself a closet gamer, as I enjoy reading D&D websites, and I puruse the rulebooks (and novels) when I'm at the bookstore. That being said, I no longer actively play, not because of lack of desire, but lack of a group and issues I'm slowly working on with my wife. Let me explain - before she met me, my wife was involved with a guy who gamed quite a bit, often to the exclusion of my wife. He put gaming before her, and she often grew resentful of it (which I totally understand). She doesn't have a problem with gaming per se, but rather the amount of time spent on it. She also has a valid point in that she often asks, why spend all that amount of time on a "fantasy" life instead of a real one? She's ok with gaming in moderation, but there's always that fear of having it take over. So, the reason I don't actively play is not necessarily because I can't find a group, but because I can't find a group that plays in moderation. I'd be perfectly happy gaming every other week, but so many want to game weekly. Also, it was brought up on a few other posts that some people get so "fanboy" about it and into it that it gets annoying. I'd rather play as a way to socialize, and not have it become the focus of my life. That, I think, is the challenge, and I also think it's one of the reasons that people outside the hobby think it can be a little weird. Suffice to say, I usually get my gaming fix by playing computer games or reading boards like this one. :)
Roxlimn 06-27-04, 10:12 PM	I think it's a shame that it's the so-called "fanboys" who are unafraid to go out there and proclaim their patronage of D&D while the more moderate gamers are so concerned about being associated with them that they allow the image of D&D players to go to pot. Every sport or hobby has its hardcore fans. No one plays D&D professionally, but we do have game designers who are professionals and who do play on a regular basis. I've met cyclists and chess players and badminton players who might be called "fanboys" if what they were so rabid about was D&D. Some of these guys put their hobbies before everything else, including career and family life. I believe that the reason they are not seen as the norm is because so many other people who play it in moderation are willing to show that they play. Presented with unambiguious proof that the usual D&D player is really just a normal guy who likes to play RPG-style games for fun, many people would shed their negative images of it.
Hell_Bane 06-27-04, 11:03 PM	I don't hide it. If the subject comes up, I'm not ashamed of it. For example, if someone asks me what I'll do tonight and I'm supposed to play a game with some friends, then I say it. I am as I am, if something bothers you, then you can go to... Anyway, you get the idea. By the way, in all my life, no one has ever complained about the fact that I'm a gamer (except for my father who thinks it's childish, but he doesn't make a big deal out of it). The secret is not to talk about D&D to someone who is not a gamer, because that's when you stop being a normal person who likes D&D and start becoming a geek. I do break that rule for potential gamers who aren't yet though. It also happens from time to time that a non-gamer wonders about what the game is, and they'll ask me about it. When I tell them, they're like: Oh, that's it? I tought it was worse than that...
Pystian 06-28-04, 06:18 AM	Originally posted by Sayek I'm sorry but I really think that is a lie. Now I suppose it could be possible, but the whole getting in a fight to date the best DM is just well, fake. Of course if you were joking then that was really funny, but you never know over the internet. It was absolutely not meant to be taken seriously. I just thought it would be a funny thing to say, and I thought others would know it was said jokingly. I don't even know who the cheerleading captains are (we have two sqauds, by the way, one for football, one for soccer), or even if captain is the right word (personally, if it were me, I'd use "head honcho"), and I didn't go to my senior prom. I suspect not a single one of the three knows what D&D is, and they wouldn't hang out with us even when we're not playing.
Xaphan 06-28-04, 07:11 PM	HAHAHAHA I'm actually about to break up with my girfriend over this. I hate the responses you get when people find out you play D&D so i asked her at least 40 times (probably more) to not say anything about it in public. She said it once at the bowling alley that i worked and and i nearly choked her to death right there. As if that wasn't bad enough, SHE STARTED ASKING ME QUESTIONS ABOUT IT AT MY GRADUATION!!!! How much more of an idiot can you possibly be? I'm done with women forever. They can't pay attention for crap.
Bulabase 06-28-04, 10:32 PM	Originally posted by XZooDude She doesn't have a problem with gaming per se, but rather the amount of time spent on it. ... I can't find a group that plays in moderation. I'd be perfectly happy gaming every other week, but so many want to game weekly. If your wife has a problem with a weekly hobby, she should consider herself lucky you don't play golf, sing in the community chorus or, heaven forbid, act in a play or build houses for Habitat for Humanity. My wife is quite forgiving of my gaming habit. She does prefer that I keep it in moderation (once a week), and not stay out too late. This is not to say that I always honor her wishes, but I am sometimes willing to pay that price (old friend in town, etc).
XZooDude 06-29-04, 10:49 AM	Originally posted by Bulabase If your wife has a problem with a weekly hobby, she should consider herself lucky you don't play golf, sing in the community chorus or, heaven forbid, act in a play or build houses for Habitat for Humanity. I suppose my original post was a bit ambiguous...my wife has never told me that she has a problem with a weekly hobby, be it gaming or anything else. It is MY preference that I join a game that meets bi-weekly, or 3 weeks on, 1 week off kind of thing. The simple reason for my preference is that I don't want to commit to a weekly session if I end up missing one session per month. I don't think that's fair to the other players. Gaming is not my wife's cup of tea, but she ultimately wants me to be happy so she wouldn't deny me something like that. However, my marriage is more important than a hobby, so I don't want to get into a game where the other players believe it's the center of their universe and consequently take up huge amounts of time. I'm a strong believer in all things in moderation, so I just need to define what is gaming in moderation for myself. If I were in high school or college, once a week would be fine (in fact, I did that in college for a couple of years). But once you're past that, and you're married, and have kids, your responsibilities grow and you can't always put your desires in front of everything else. I need to find a balance with gaming and the rest of my life. Until I find that balance, then I suppose I'll "remain in the closet." However, I'll keep the door cracked just so I can peek out every now and then. :)
LordOfTheFries 06-29-04, 12:38 PM	My mom knows I play and she's not really too happy about it. My dad knows I play but he's got no freakin idea what's going on. I have no friends so there's nobody there to worry about, but I will in no way ever mention to my co-workers that I play. I work in a factory where some folks have the collective brain power of a lawn tractor so I'm sure I'd draw only sneers and ridicule. Besides, I never talk to anyone anyway so there's no opportunity to tell anything now is there? I only play once a week because I live around 40 miles from my DM.
Whyldman 06-29-04, 12:43 PM	Just about everybody who knows me knows I play D&D, Magic adn other geeky hobbies. And they also know I'm proud of it, and don't really care if they think less of me for it. As a matter of fact, I try and get as many of my friends playing it as I can. I've managed to convert a fair number of people. I do have to admit, it isn't the first thing that comes up in a conversation with somebody I just met. I prefer to let them get to know me first before i am given the label of Geek. That way, as long as they're cool people, they won't have a problem with me and my life.

I just find it tedious to deal with people's preconceptions about D&D. I think all my non-gamer friends know I play. Very few of my co-workers know it, though.

I usually respond with "Yes, and I even play... (gasp)... Monopoly!!!" They stare back with a blank look on their face and I finish with "A game's a game, dude. Chill out."
