Comic books are pretty darn nerdy. Well comic books themselves aren’t, but the collectors definitely are (myself included). But there is something nerdier than a comic book collector, and that’s a Role Playing Game (rpg) player!
Until a few days ago I was probablly the biggest nerd on the 9rules Network. Now I’m happy to say that my title has been taken over by Martin Ralya of Treasure Tables. His blog is all about Role Playing Games. He’s been a game master since 1989… that’s a long time.
I’ve never played pen and paper role playing games, nor have I played online RPGs. I did participate in a Play by Email RPG long ago and it was a blast.

I suspect You’ll be seeing collaborations of some sort in the future.

I wanted to follow suit and declare my undying gratitude to Paul (even though I'm most likely the next…
I self-identify a bit more as a geek than a nerd, because I hate math and my interest in school was…fickle…at best. ;)
No surprise that I’m also into comics, and have been on and off since I was a little kid. I read trades almost exclusively these days, because I’m not into the collectibility aspect and I like not having to fuss with single issues.
You’ve got an interesting site here — keep it up! :)
I told myself that I wouldn’t start purchasing individual issues and collecting them with plastic and backerboards and would just buy the trades as they were released, but I couldn’t do it.
Collecting is a disease.
