You've played too many RPGs when...

My wife and I are SO guilty of all three of those...

When you measure your friends by the first game system you played with them.

I had a nightmare last night about a ghost/spirit.

I had a dream last night that all my friends chipped in to help me buy a new RPG supplement. I only had to pay about $5!

Then I woke up. It was very depressing.

29. Let's be honest... when you've played one RPG!
("The first one's free...")

30. When your employer sends out a brochure offering "AD&D Insurance" and you have to read it to realize it covers "Accidental Death and Dismemberment". (Note that the TSR product would be "Deliberate Death and Dismemberment")

I like that one and consider it an insurance against the risk of AD&D.

31. You think all are crap RPGs coz you can do it with GURPS... I've heard them, do you want to play this, no because the rules suck and without trying I can easily abuse them.

BTW I alway wanted to play AD&D with the worst stats ever, the improbable miniums or Alternatively backwards ie you are the monsters and you got to stop some psychopaths from destroying your home.

32. You watch films and think most are crap too, you could have run a better RPG than that!

33. You have good grasp of probabilities, better than NRPGers

I managed to fail three different probstat courses in college. It's like I have an intuitive misunderstanding of probability; I can do the math, but routinely guess wrong about which formulas to do it on.

34. When you never finish your goodnight stories to your kids, because you always end up stopping in the middle of exciting situations and ask them what they would do in it.

35. When you stop movies half-way through because you'd rather play out the action in your head as you would have acted it, had you been the hero (or villain!).

Yes - but then you find out you both prefer different game systems - so it may turn into a 'mixed marriage'.
