You know you're a gamer when.....

[Agentorange]

You start a new swords'n'sorcery book ( The sum of all men by David Farland ) which has an interesting magical system and the first thing you think isn't" hey thats clever" or "nice plot twist" but "now, how do I translate that into BRP/RQ mechanics?"

sad......

[PK Games]

When you are reading a comic book and you actually stop and say "hey, his stats are not high enough to do that with his power!"

[Shaira]

You track your own SANity points on a daily basis.

[Shaira]

When somebody asks you "What are the chances of that happening, eh?", you can usually give them an immediate off-the-cuff answer, to within a few percent...

Somewhere, secretly, you have a BRP character sheet where you've tried to work up your own stats... but you probably lied about your STR stat... and probably POW... oh, and maybe INT, too... hey, it's just a game, is'n'it?

You have a pair of percentile dice which have all the corners worn off so bad you can't use them anymore, but you keep them - for "sentimental" reasons.

Whenever you see a house plan in an estate agent's window, you think "heyyy... I could use that..." and immediately start imagining numbering each room and working out where the secret doors are...

[tzunder]

When you cross the road and think 'what is the saving roll to avoid a car?'

[I was very young and we had only played Basic D&D..]

[Sarge]

As a player.

When you watch a film or TV series where the actors split up in the zombie ridden/Alien/gangster ridden house and Think. "Pah, never catch one of my characters doing something that dumb..."

As a GM re the above: "oh...the actors have split up. If this was one of my games they would be in real trouble about now..Heh! Heh!"
(More so if a Cthulhu Keeper.)

I'm guilty of everything except the dice part

[threedeesix]

When the weather person says there is going to be a 60% chance of rain and you run in your game room and get the dice.

When you have a game room that doesn't have a pool table in it.

When you cancel the weekly game because it's you and your wifes
10 year anniversary and she gets upset and makes you call everyone
back.

All true,

Rod

[kraalomega]

Guilty as charged. Though I still claim to have a high CON because I'm never ill, despite the fact that I get out of breath going up the stairs

[Ars Mysteriorum]

When you size up someone, you mentally assign them statistics for their abilities and skills and compare them to your own.
