Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment,
To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger,
And the Turning of a Page"

...your geek points are in the five digit range because of purchases made in the past year.
...you own everything Palladium has ever made.
...you have more than one first print of the RMB.
...you have significant and detailed arguments over whether or not the Coalition could beat Atlantis in a war.
...you buy Rifts paraphernalia for the same reason others climb mountains...because it's there.
...you are secretly building a cardboard replica of a Glitter Boy in your basement.
...and your secret regret is that the Boom Gun doesn't work.
...you've printed up copies of different suits of power armor to use as targets when you go shooting..."just in case."
...you're mad that it took the so-called geniuses at Lazlo so long to decide the Xiticix were a menace.
...you were excited to find out Victor Lazlo was alive.
...you know the semi-official origins of the name Emperor Tromm, and that it still applies.
...you shrieked when you asked Kev about the Mechanoids being descended from the 'Alanees' and if that meant they were Atlantean, and he shrugged and said, "I don't know...are they?" (I almost cried when he did that to me)
...you made offers on the Nokia Glitter Boy cardboard cut-out.
...you were surprised when such offers got you laughed at.
...but kept offering to buy it anyway.
...you know where the Auto-G first appeared in print, and bugged Palladium about what they were.
...you've were mentioned as an attendee of the Open House in the latest Rifter.
But the biggest sign you're a Rifts geek....
...is if you're ME.

You buy Dragons and Gods, just so you can properly write up an Ancient dragon NPC.
You buy Dimension Builder because Rifts Earth and Three Galaxy are not enough.
You change Rifts MDC to SDC, but you'd still rather play a Rifts campaign then Heros.
You alway are looking back to Bionics Sourcebook when writing up NPCs or just daydreaming of a new character. (This is fading, mutants are the best overall)
You've considered buying an E-Gage as a replacement for you're cell phone, simply to be able to play "Promise of Power".

List of things Cherico found out the hard Way about dating
Never say
"Wow you must have rolled 18 on your PB score!"
"Lady you rolled a natural 20 in my heart"
"Dont worry about your Ex I have +2 to strike with blunt
weapons"
Never do these things
Bring your lucky 20 die to bring you luck on a date
roll your dice to see if the girl secertly likes you
(even when you roll a 20 she probally still finds you repulsive)
Compare her inteligence to erin tarn
Explaining who erin tarn is after comparing her to erin tarn
Never compare a teacher you both hate to Karl Prozack
Never explain who Karl Prozack is
Tell her storys about your adventures in rifts
Tell her how you still miss the 12 level mindmelter who died
because you rolled a natural one in the underground ruins of
disny land.
Explain who archee 3 is
Tell her exactly what megadamage is
even bringing up Mega damage in the first place
saying you must have a low PP when you trip
Saying she failed her balance roll when she trips
not dodging the spagette she pushes into your face when
she tells you that your the biggest creep in the world
Expecially while the spagetties still hot
(to be fair I did many of these things all on the same date
Ah Shelly I learned so many things from her, In a warped
way doing her 5 page history paper was worth her pity date
however not really. Come to think about it that date pretty
much sucked)

Svartalf- if Cherico were a character created in a point game system, he'd have all his scores in geeky skills and his youtube and weird net stuff schticks all paid through a a Terminal Bad Luck (with more nasty GM intervention) disadvantage, and probably an Uncouth (can not have social skills) disad as well...

...when guys at work are arguing about whether they can dodge a (real) bullet, your first thought is whether they are playing with the -10 rule.
...when your wife asks how you're feeling after work and you respond, "Down to about 2 I.S.P."
...if you have ever argued with friends about whether one of your (real) attributes received an extra d6 at birth.
...if you are asked about the annual office budget and your response includes the word "powercreep".
Yes, these are all anecdotal.

I am close. There are 2 core books I am missing: Deluxe Revised Recon and Ultimate Rifts. I have 2 first edition PFRPG books (one from before the sexual deviance table got removed, and one from after). I have both BTS corebooks. I have a full set of Macross II, a full set of Robotech, all of the TMNT books, a full set of 1st ed PFRPG (including The Arms Of Nargash Tor), all the Rifters up until 30, all the Chaos Earth stuff, all of the BTS supplements (including the newspaper), the Mechanoids books (the trilogy AND the one that is just called "The Mechanoids" which is not a part of the trilogy), the small-size weapon books, both weapon compendiums, Splicers, System Failure, a full set of Nightbane (with the original Nightspawn corebook), Heroes Unlimited 1st ed, HU1 sourcebook called The Justice Machine, leatherbound HU2 corebook, and about half of the Rifts and PFRPG 2nd Ed books.
I also have Rifts Manhunter, and the original Kinslayer Productions version of the Manhunter RPG, and the Myrmidon Press version of Manhunter, along with Myrmidon's supplement book (the name of which I can't remember).
*EDIT* I forgot to mention that I also have a first edition Ninjas and Superspies and 1st print Mystic China, all three of the novels (1st print each), The Magic of Palladium book that came with the X-Mas Grab Bag a few years ago, all but 2 of the pewter Rifts minis, The new After The Bomb core rules, and a pdf copy of Valley of the Pharoahs (that I got from the Palladium website). That's not to mention that my copies of the HU2 corebook, PFRPG 2nd ed, Robotech: New World Order, After the Bomb 2nd edition all signed by Kevin, and 4 of my Rifters are signed by Jaguar Wong.

Dude, that's our slightly delayed honeymoon.
Well, my wife knew nothing about RPGs before meeting me - her older brothers had never played them, none of her previous boyfriends had ever played, and no one that she knew had ever played, so it was a totally new thing to her when she learnt of my obsession
At this point all I can ask for is tolerance of purchasing books every month and having a study that is 30-40% full of RPG stuff. If I tried to get to the US for OH this year... well, lets just say that this is not an option if I intend to have more kids in the future...

I am guilty of both of these too.
I'm guilty of more than just that. I have the core books and supplements to PB games I've never played (a la Mechaniod Invasion Trilogy, the book called The Mechanoids, Recon, the list continues.)
