Is this the glandular dysfunction support group?
Dammit, I've got to check my own Paizo page to remember how long I've been gaming.
No, really, why would I do that? It's great to have a special little place to hang out with all the other re4ugees...

I find myself to be a grognard now as well. While I have only ever played 3.x I am certain I will still be playing 3.x in 10 years. Now this all depends on if 4E does suck as much as I feel it is going to. We could all be surprised. Just saying......and hoping.......
Git outta here with all that optimism! You call yourself a grognard!?!? Now drop an' give me 50 soldier, an' if I ever here that kind of talk outta you again you'll be gittin' the lash!

I am proud to admit: First Ed D&D is still spelled with an A. Now take your power gaming back to your consul and let an old wyrm enjoy his hoard.
How old do you have to be to be a grognard?
Old enough to have a lawn, and to want those damn kids to get off it?
When's Fallout 3 coming out again? Will they have mentats and the Porn Star perk?
I...AM...GROGNARD MAN. (and then hair metal)

WTF? Mentat Pr0n?

What's a gazebo?
Eh . . . back in my day, we used to color our dice in, and we liked it . . .
Did I pass the audition?
My copy of Basic Dungeons and Dragons came with "dungeon geomorphs" and a "monster and treasure assortment", since B1 hadn't been written yet...
I remember when they came out with the Monster Manual...
My favorite issue of The Dragon (Yes, "The Dragon") magazine was Number 29. It had Gary Gygax's Sorceror's Scroll column, "The Half-Ogre, Smiting Him Hip and Thigh", which was our excuse to make half-ogre characters (5 charisma, here we come!)...
Grognards away!

This may be one of the few times I actually LOLed. Congratulations.Is a grognard a type of medieval polearm?Nope, I think it is a free-standing, open air, wooden structure, often pentagonal in shape, found in the yards of large estates. Wait...
Thanks, we grognards try. I sense a sea-change here in this thread, though. Perhaps we should transmute it into a:
"You know you are a grognard when..." thread.
I shall begin.
"You know you are a grognard when you had brand new Dungeons and Dragons action figures to stand in as miniatures when playing 'Quest for the Hearstone'.
Speaking of dice you had to color in. I still have mine... except for the d20, it actually split in half during a session a few years ago.
I remember the orange one that I had . . . its edges were so worn that it was more of a sphere than a d20. The light blue one held up better though.

I lost my red, colored-in d12 in the Snake River. I was using it to randomly select which dredge haul to subsample...the waves swelled, the barge rocked, and my poor little die shot into the murky depths.
<sniff>
Although I don't feel like a grognard, I probably am. Still have my red box set of D&D basic, the blue Expert book (with 3-hole punches!) and the aqua-blue Companion box set. Plus, the original boxes of Gamma World, Top Secret, and Star Frontiers.

Your products make you grognard worthy. But it is also your mindset. Losing a beloved die in such a fashion, and weeping salty tears into the depths of the Snake River qualifies as such.
Welcome, grognard, be at ease.

How about Metamorphosis Alpha and Empire of the Petal Throne?

Must we be RPG Grognards or can we whine about other game systems and how they're RUINED FOREVER?
I started playing during 3rd Edition? Can I be grognard yet?
Do you even know what "screamcore" is?
If not, then you can be a grognard.

That depends on whether you consider D&D essentials to be a new game. I'd guess that a good definition of Grognard is when the players of the edition after you complain about their new edition woes, you can gripe about how the world left you behind oh so long ago.
By this principle, very first Original D&D grognards own us all. Or is it Chainmail players? Emily Bronte?
If you start most of your sentences with "I remember when ...", then you might be a Grognard.
ah good I was hopeing not to be late to the party.
I have come to the inevitable conclusion that yes I am a grognard simply because I still want to play 2nd ed and still have all of my 1st ed stuff waiting for that magical day when I can use it again.
3 and 3.5 will do until then as far as the "other" choice, well I'll just say no.
Definitely grognardish here.
Hello Mr. Fishy's name is Mr. Fishy and Mr. Fishy played a 1 ed. barbarian from the Unearthed Arcana book...>choke...bubble<
Named Grogg...The bear was smarter than he was. The bear was smarter!
Mr. Fishy loved that barbar.
Mr. Fishy has a collection of 2nd and 1st ed books some of which are the same age as him...Literally.
Mr. Fishy also began reading Dragon Magazine when it was still a TSR property. >Damn thats old!<
