Sound Like Gamers To Me

fiat_knoxMy folks turned on the TV just now and pointed out to me something about some Comedy Central show.
Krod What and the What?
Apparently, Comedy Central have commissioned a fantasy comedy show featuring characters with names like "Krod Mandoon" and "Dongalor."
"A fantasy-comedy, "Krod Mandoon and The Flaming Sword of Fire" is an outrageous, live-action, character-driven comedy that takes place in the "long ago past" and features [Sean] Maguire as the reluctant hero Krod Mandoon, a sensitive, clueless freedom fighter ..."
*sigh* *cradles forehead* I dread to think. Clearly someone has decided to come out of the gaming closet here. The actors, too, by all accounts.
I only bring this up because my well-meaning folks looked to me and said "Isn't this what you're into?" I think I initially replied along the lines of "Crap fucking Cruach, Rhesus Wept Blackleaf NOOOOO!"
The games I play and run, namely Traveller, Shadowrun, Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0 and the World of Darkness, have different settings and a very different feel. But the cowans looking in still lump such games in with the rubber swords and the chainmail and the Boots of Escaping.
