It's actually based on a world and campaign setting that people created for D&D which is known as the Forgotten Realms or Faerun if you prefer... Ok... Now I'm a dork |

Debby,
First D&D is a role game either played on on a member-drawned board (or not) with the members making their own set of rules. The concept in itself was fascinating, but it quickly became nerdy, geeky ........ and dorky because those members would shy away in the fantasies and some forget about the outside world.
Eventually twenty years after it might have become a videogame

This is true, but still it had its roots in D&D so I'm correct you just elaborated for me. |

I'm a recluse whom nobody hates, I'm a quite a large person so I'm left alone.

Which Version do you play? I just started so I'm a 3.5 edition-er. Yeah, for three years on a weekly basis I've been playing. No, I'm not a dork. I only like unpopular intellegent music, Play Dungeons and Dragons, Watch Star Trek, have read Lord of the Rings, Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy, The Eye of the World series, and I went to school dressed as a rendition of Peter Gabriel's watcher of the Skies outfit... yeah I'm cool. (And somehow... somehow I end up being friends with all the Hawthorne Heights/My Chemical Romance/Panic! At the Dicso listeners... go figure.) |

Never been a geek/nerd.
I am a weird person, but not really a dork.

Napoleon Dynamite is a dork, a person with socially inadequate tendencies.
D&D isn't dorky but nerdy. And great. |

I'm unclear as to the difference between nerdy and dorky. Suffice it to say that I have never lost a game of Trivial Pursuit or Scrabble.

I've never really understood what the three terms mean, but if I go with those definitions, then I'm definitely not a nerd, as I don't really play too many computer games, and I'm not too good with technology. As for dork, I don't know, because I'm rarely silly, I'm usually very down-to-earth, but I do have odd interests (prog, jazz, yo-yos, cryptozoology). I do very well at school, but I wouldn't say I'm extremely smart, and I don't read a whole lot, so I don't really know what you'd call me, but I figured I'm close enough to vote yes.

D&D is just stupid.
Elder Scrolls is where it's at.

I don't play D&D, but I am most assuredly a dork.
