What's nerdier? Magic the Gathering, or Dungeons and Dragons?

poster above is CLEARLY not worth knowing or dating. some of us (nerd nation) cant play football or who cares because of muscle atrophy and maybe I DON'T WANna 2 PLAY. its a dumb anyway though. not liek pokemon or dnd where YOU ACTUALY HAVE TO BE SMART to know the realy hard rules and regz.

get a life your the loser here not us (nerd nation)

I don’t know. I play both D&D and Magic: the Gathering, and I find it hard to call myself a nerd (I’m probably being a little overly optimistic here...) though if I had a choice, I’d take Dungeons and Dragons, because your potential mate can at the very least participate in a game with you without having to spend mega dollars on cards.

But then again, I met my girlfriend while playing Magic. We’ve gone out for a little over a year and a half now, and we’re still spellbound by each other. We often play in FNM together, though she nearly always beats me, and I’ve never figured out why she’s just so much better (It probably has something to do with the way we “celebrate” after her victory) and we show up at the same store for some D&D on the weekends. When we are not caught up with Wizards of the Coast products, I write stuff, compose music, and play hockey while she works a tech job (front-end graphics designer. Don’t have a clue what she gets up to.), sings and teaches piano. Frankly, I don’t know who’s the nerdier of us two, but you can have your pick.

Hope that Helped!

I reckon Dungeons and Dragons is nerdier since Magic is colleictible so people can just collect for the fun of it and its not really stat-crunching. Though I do admit that I notice people playing Magic getting very weird stares... :O Dungeons and Dragons on the other hand, needs you to have LOTS (20+ hours is good) of time on your hands to get a good game out and for people watching on is just ludicrous. There's also loads of 'complex' terminology to grasp like d6, d10 2d8, blahblahblah... I'd definitely sooner admit I played Magic the Gathering to a girlfriend than Dungeons and Dragons since I'd probably get dumped instantly O_o

BTW: I have played both hehehehe ^_^

Personally I don't find either of them particularly shameful or nerdy. I tell people all the time that I play DnD, and I don't hesitate to admit I've played Magic also (though it's been years since I have had someone to actually play it with).

With Magic, I usually get a blank stare since it doesn't have the name recognition that DnD does.

As for DnD some few people have reacted negatively to it but for the most part the "nerd" stereotype is dying out and people generally just don't care what hobbies you're into as long as you don't take it to the extremes.

Neither. This should not be something you admit to but just something you do. I don't have to admit to bathing, playing the piano, or cooking gourmet meals. Admitting to something suggests you feel shame, imbaressment, or guilt about something. If the potential girlfriend/boyfriend makes you feel this way about your interests it suggests you know very little about them too. Take some time to get to know them and let them know what you are interested in including the games and hobbies you enjoy. If they react harshly or rudely they are deffinately not a match. If they say they dislike those game but there is enough interest in other aspect of your personalities, maybe you can work around it,(like time you spend with other firends), or maybe they will be intrigued and want to learn more, or maybe just maybe they love the idea of both games and you have found a match.

Dungeons and Dragons is much nerdier.

I would prefer to admit Magic the Gathering. But, then again, if you admit both to your partner and they don't like you for it that's their bad luck because they should like you for who you are. If they don't like the nerdy side of you then they are not the one for you. Move on.

Dungeons and Dragons

I could tell you, but then we'd be

a) comparing the stats of two things, and

b) possibly arguing about the stats of those things.

And that's just making the problem worse.
