About Me
I've been gaming since the Atari 2600. The first console I owned was an NES my parents got for the family on Christmas of '88. I bought a PS1 with the first paycheck of my first job (ok, it was two paychecks; I was only making $5.50). Final Fantasy taught me to love RPG's, but I'll play almost anything that doesn't have a year in the title. I'm rockin' all three of the current generation and have all my older systems loving packed in my spare bedroom closet.

Games I'm Playing:
Bioshock
Scott Pilgram Vs The World
Darksiders
Red Dead Redemption


Things I Like:
Magfest
Earthbound/Mother
D&D
Rum, Brandy and Gin
Sweet Tea
Classic Cars (Leather and Chrome FTW)
Sci-Fi/Fantasy books

Random Encounter: The Newb and The Fanboy
confusionbomb | 12:43 AM on 12.29.2009 11 comments


The pity is that I can't really use these in my current campaign.

Newb
The lowest rank of Gamer, Newbs are considered more of a nuisance than a threat.



Newb Tactics
Newbs tend to gather in groups on the battlefield and use Spout Nonsense at anyone they see, even other Newbs. They will not retreat even when obviously overwhelmed and will continue to Spout Nonsense while being hacked to pieces.

Newb Lore
Nature DC 12: A figure to be pittied, most Newbs evolve into either Gamers, Fanboys or Trolls within a short period of time. Those that do not tend to die quickly since Gamer culture favors the skilled and the strong. Being called a Newb, even when accurate, is considered an insult.

_________________________________________________________

The Fanboy
Fanatically devoted to a specific gaming system, The Fanboy is an unholy abomination that walks the land spreading discord and attempting to force his beliefs on others.



Fanboy Tactics
The Fanboy will attampt to scream "Bias!" and throw Console Exclusives whenever possible. If confronted with a folllower of a different console or a Reviewer, they will foam at the mouth an fight to the death.

Fanboy Lore
DC 12: An unfortunate evolution of the Newb, The Fanboy denies reality in favor of beliveing his chosen console is best.
DC 18; Though a part of gamer culture, The Fanboy is disdained by all other Gamers but the Newbs who don't know any better and may themselves choose tread the mad path of The Fanboy.

My apologies for lack of monster art, but I lack skills in that direction and didn't want to crib someone else's work.

"The Newb and The Fanboy" would actually make a great show I think :-)
