The time was, when geeks were uncool, socially awkward and spent the daylight hours discussing hit rates, comics and spells. That time is now long gone and we grew up, took over cinema, TV and media. Ok, I’m still socially awkward but geekery is now cool and what’s better than finding people who share that love?
Fellow geeks, post your fandoms here and who knows, you might find your paladin 10th class to adventure with! |

"I have a geeky friend. He plays warhammer. He won't let me paint a squadron pink and glittery and I can't understand why...   "
Because that would be a fab-u-lus squadron! They could blend into the local pride marches |

"I love gaming Console or pc
Avid World of Warcraft fan!
Do enjoy Marvel and DC
Have also planned to attend a comic-con at some point too "
I’m glad that someone got there in the end!
A comic con would be amazing! I’ve always loved and wanted to indulge in some cosplay |

I'll know it when I find it. |
World of Warcraft. I caved and played again after a good 7 years away.
Marvel and DC. Yep DC. DC. DC. Comics in general.
Mythology - particularly Greek and Norse.
Anime.
That's not an exhaustive list but as I'm typing this - these are all pretty much mainstream basic geek requirements.

"I miss raiding with my Blood Elf hunter in World of Warcrat.
Good times
Ah I remember now that you were a WoWer!"
I've resisted the lure of getting back in but still keep up with the lore |

It does make me sad how DC constantly drop the ball on their DCEU, they even managed to mess up the few good things that they had!
WW84 is dross, Birds of Prey was dull...
Hopefully RP can do something good with Batman but even then, they can’t keep rebooting the same character!

I’m waiting with quiet trepidation for the new Dune release, hopefully it will be good.
We started rewatching BG during lockdown, it still looks good even though the effects have aged |

Three actors in cinema by comparison to six?
Marvel also had the good sense to mix up the concept and didn’t do the origin story again. Personally I think that Tom is a brilliant spidey.
Are you saying that you think that DC are doing well? |

“I’m attacking the darkness”
Anyone that doesn’t get that was unlikely a Geek gamer back in the early 2000’s.
Started off with Dragonlance books, then morphed into DnD via Heroquest and SpaceMarine board games .
Loved collecting WH20k. Played battletech both table top and console/pc games.
Spent many a weekend at the Trocodero in London doing their battletech “simulator”
Obviously a star wars fan, and so when they were rereleased in the Cinema, went and watched all 3 back to back.
Love the Cinema as an experience, and movies in general.
Moved onto Tolkien and Fiest as authors, along with John Scalzi’s old mans war series.
Met my wife in Everquest, spent years leading guilds in EQ and WoW with a few Horde side server firsts. Was in the WoW beta back in 2004.
Have attended a few comic-cons in the UK. Would like to do SFCC mainly for the exclusive toys.
Collect Lego and Transformers, but my comic collecting was limited to Jay and Silent Bob and Wolverine.
The Mrs has an OG Witchblade comic collection.
Thats a quick word vomit for my sins.

"I've seen all the Marvel films. Does that count?"
Yup!
Geekery isn’t defined by the amount that you know or how much you own, it’s based on the unashamed love of a fandom and expressing that |

"DnD DM checking in. Once a Dm, forever a Dm. Am I right??
Hmmm.
Hope you passed the relevant charisma test?"
Checking are you, ? Roll for investigation. |

"I play World of warcraft and I like D&D and similar tabletop games.

I don't know if this fits in to a geek thread, but I also should've mentioned my love of Disney, early 2000s barbie movies (and dolls), all things my little pony.
Also, musical theatre  |

Was that the original or the 2003 reboot?
The latter is one of the best shows ever made and the effects are still very good even today |

The reboot. I was specifically thinking of the mini series that restarted it, costs were so limited that the director cut the corners of the papers to symbolise the cost cutting! |

Exactly! I think it’s because the studio spend too much time in worrying about style that the substance is lacking |

Mr KC is a Warhammer/miniature toy soldiers geek. He's currently collecting and painting 4mm Napoleonic era stuff...
I'm a general science geek, but especially microbiology. I also enjoy learning languages and history... |

And because they'd rather appeal to a mass audience by simplifying storylines, removing any hints of anything particularly dark when really they should be embracing that. Look at Joker and how fantastic that was - it didn't shy away from certain issues, nor did it sexify it. |

Agreed. DC is dark and should remain as such. It can’t be watered down because you lose so much when you do. The Joker was brilliant. It’s so hard to get right but when you do it’s a true masterpiece. |

I agree with that, although there have been points when they screwed the pooch in winning scenarios; “my mom is called Martha too!” Just killed that film |

Got the indomitous set still painting but done some of the models, dark angels and just geeen glow for the necrons, so definatly not played 9th yet
Started with Know no fear, still building Indomitus and have a large pile of shame bought already... roughly 3000 pts of Nurgles and Smurfs and just the robot half of Indo so far... trying to paint more before I build everything
Yeah I've got a knight add make army as well which only started off as one Knight but somehow ended up turning into an admech Knight combo
The SoB box is still untouched. And 4 bloodbowl teams outstanding. I am a disgrace
No shame in that lol"
All of Indomitus bar the Necron warriors and scarabs, 2 chaos Rhinos, 2 Redemptor dreadnaughts, Techmarine, 2 blight haulers, a couple of DG characters a box of terminators a box of plague marines and 20 poxwalkers still in boxes... my shame is great |

"I have a geeky friend. He plays warhammer. He won't let me paint a squadron pink and glittery and I can't understand why...
Slannesh approves of this post... I’d let you paint my Necrons pink...

Marvel
DC
LOTR
Harry Potter
Used to love Middle Earth Role Play, but the guy who ran it left the area and never found anyone else who can act as story master.
I don't really like to refer to myself as a geek. I think hobbies are hobbies, and feel I'm being pigeon holed if I'm told that liking stuff that's different from the status quo makes me a geek. I'm just a human bean with hobbies |

"ASOIF and Wh40k painter/builder/sometime player here.
"
The 'sometime' player rings true... its tough to find opponents.
These days I mostly just keep up with the lore. |

"It's tricky to have enough time for a 2k points game, was hoping to find kill team fans for shorter games (and less painting! )
What do you play?"
Kill team and Necromunda always seemed more manageable... and the newer AoS skirmish game types.
Ive got a few thousand points of Space Wolves (all pre-primaris) and a small Raven Guard force for 40k.
I've also got a sizeable Ogre/Ogor army, but have never fielded them with AoS rules.
I keep meaning to pick up the newer edition of Blood Bowl too. I have an old metal Skavenblight Scramblers team I'd love to use again.
How about yourself? |

Mr KC fell out with GW just because of how much it all costs, especially to play a full army. So he's switched to anywhere between 3mm to 10mm realistic warfare stuff. French Revolution, Napoleonic era, WW1 and some ancient warfare stuff. He paints it all, obviously and gets terribly excited about his next delivery of toy soldiers
He can satisfy twin interests with realistic stuff, so at the moment, he's reconstructing WW1 naval ship formations, convoys etc, researching damage and suchlike so he can make it realistic.
Btw if whoever plays Mr KC at 40k or whatever, good luck. He's memorised most of the rulebooks |

He's sat here now painting impossibly small Prussian soldiers with a paintbrush the width of about one horses hair  |

Shivers - Renegade Space Marines (CSM rules) I don't chase the meta and know they aren't competitive but meh, they're my dudes (and dudettes)
Know what you mean about the constant updates. I'd like to find a group that play with a legacy rule set for that reason.
Kinky couple - I'd love to play Mr sometime - Fab trip to Warhammer world when it reopens? |

I get that, Ive always been a fan of the 'rule of cool'. CSM have got a really diverse look... I've often thought about starting a small Night Lords force. |

I've got some Nids that are gathering dust, so I'd love to get kicked by some CSM

"Enjoy gaming. Currently playing borderlands 3. Into all the geeky stuff, fantasy, sci fI. Going off Disney’s Star Wars. Prefer George Lucas vision."
I'm the opposite. I can't stand George Lucas's vision now, haven't for years. Disney comes along and rekindles my interest in the franchise. |
