It's actually based on a world and campaign setting that people created for D&D which is known as the Forgotten Realms or Faerun if you prefer... Geek

Ok... Now I'm a dork LOL

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

This is true, but still it had its roots in D&D so I'm correct you just elaborated for me. Wink

Dungeons and Dragons isn't a computer game actually. It's a roleplaying game you play with friends in a basement on paper with dices, maps and all. Wink

It sounds nerdy but it's pretty cool.

I actually have a scheduled game for tonight. It's the first time I'm playing in years. Smile

Which Version do you play? I just started so I'm a 3.5 edition-er.

Yeah, for three years on a weekly basis I've been playing. No, I'm not a dork. I only like unpopular intellegent music, Play Dungeons and Dragons, Watch Star Trek, have read Lord of the Rings, Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy, The Eye of the World series, and I went to school dressed as a rendition of Peter Gabriel's watcher of the Skies outfit... yeah I'm cool. (And somehow... somehow I end up being friends with all the Hawthorne Heights/My Chemical Romance/Panic! At the Dicso listeners... go figure. Confused

Yes, I am a penis... Clown

Im not a dork (I think) and I dont have an interest in D&D, videogames are more fun.

D&D >> Dicks and Dorks??????????

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Never been a geek/nerd.

I am a weird person, but not really a dork.

Napoleon Dynamite is a dork, a person with socially inadequate tendencies.

D&D isn't dorky but nerdy. And great.

Someone who has odd interests, and is often silly at times. A dork is also someone who can be themselves and not care what anyone thinks.

You are such a dork.

I guess I'm closer to a "geek", which is a nerd that doesn't necessarily need to be bookish or technologically apt. But if you're mixing the two definitions together, I'll just choose "yes".

To recap:

a nerd entails a geek
a geek does not entail a nerd
a dork does not entail a geek or a nerd, but there is a high correlation between the three.

I've never really understood what the three terms mean, but if I go with those definitions, then I'm definitely not a nerd, as I don't really play too many computer games, and I'm not too good with technology. As for dork, I don't know, because I'm rarely silly, I'm usually very down-to-earth, but I do have odd interests (prog, jazz, yo-yos, cryptozoology). I do very well at school, but I wouldn't say I'm extremely smart, and I don't read a whole lot, so I don't really know what you'd call me, but I figured I'm close enough to vote yes.

D&D is just stupid.

Elder Scrolls is where it's at.
