When you drop something and think, "Damn! Botched that roll..."

Or, when the friends who watched your clumsiness say the same thing.

Out loud. In public.

You know you're a gamer when...

...you refer to reality as "my other campaign."

...your spouse tells you to come to bed and you argue that your character only needs 4 hours of sleep to regain all your MP.

...you're in the hospital and wonder what the doctor's Physik skill rating is.

When watching movies, you point out all the torchbearers before they die.

When watching a movie (any movie), you start picking characters with the other gamers watching the movie and have them all statted up in 5 minutes and use the movie like a "convention game" with a railroading GM

As you read a book, you start statting up all the interesting characters "just in case" you need an NPC...in three different gaming systems "just to make sure".

You know you are a gamer when while reading this thread, you think "damn, why did I not do that?" ...

... you manage to convince your boss that the Traveller character sheet you just spent 30 mins filling out is actually an expense claim form.

Guilty. As. Charged.

... you have decided that platonic solids really are the most beautiful of shapes.

...when you find yourself compelled to point out that d10's aren't strictly platonic solids...
