I play Dungeons & Dragons. That pretty much solidifies my status as a geek. No matter what else I do — paintball, photography, motorcycling — I will still be considered a geek because of my gaming inclinations.
Even porn stars, like Mandy Morbid, can be a Dungeons & Dragons-playing geek.
And throughout my long history of role-playing, I have to admit there is some truth to the stereotypes. There are plenty of players out there that make a gaming session look like the cast of “Big Bang Theory” meets “Revenge of the Nerds.” However, I have also seen many exceptions to those preconceptions. I have met, and had the luxury to play with, professionals from all walks of life, including people who work for the military/government and do things they don’t like you to talk about. I have met and dated the unicorn-like “hot gamer chick.” I have met writers, civil servants, cops, artists, business owners and folks from all walks of life.
However, I am nowhere near as lucky as this guy Zak, writer of the “Playing D&D with Porn Stars” blog.
