And I'm sure she was drawn with hotness in mind (that was well done, Wayne Reynolds, sir !)

So sue me (or shun me !)
It never occured to me. Such is the way of rambling ;-).

You posted numbers 1 and 2 in your first post. So...That's your 19th post.
Confession! I'm not a real blonde.

Well if the artist's intent was to make quiche lisp's avatar look like a mildly angry Don Rickles then I think they're doing a fantastic job.
While I can appreciate Cthulhu mythology, I just find Lovecraft's stories to be OK at best and racist at times.
Well, keeping in mind when they were written (Great Depression) and by whom, your findings are to be expected.
What I would probably be shunned for: I do not care one whit for gaming in various movies/TV shows/comic book settings. Be it Star Trek, Star Wars, Dragonlance, Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Werehamster, Alien vs. Predator vs. Pokemon or the combined worlds of DC, Marvel and Dark Horse comics.

But what about My Little Pony?
...although the werehamster thing sounds intriguing.
I had my players saved by Santa Claus.
I had my players kill Santa Claus. On Christmas Eve.
It was a Santa based on this song, but made using 3.5 rules. Including firearms.
Now that I have Pathfinder, guess who is going to get a weapon proficiency in firearms when I remake.

No shunning here! I love the Wheel of Time, but I wouldn't want to role play in a universe where casters are even more gonzo than they are in 3.x D&D. I love A Song of Ice and Fire, but I wouldn't want to role play in a universe where magic and monsters are so rare.
I do occasionally fantasize about playing a game loosely based on a movie or show. Like watching Supernatural sometimes makes me wonder what it'd be like to role play a monster-hunter in the real world, with some kind of explanation for how the existence of all those monsters and demons isn't common knowledge.

I had once thought of making a d20 modern game loosely based off Special Unit 7 tv show. It never progressed further than just a thought.

Did you mean Special Unit 2?

In Martin's universe, human beings are the monsters.

Supernatural is the TV version of WoD's Hunter.
However, according to at least 2/3 of the posts I read on these boards, that's BADWRONGFUN!
My fighter 3/commoner 1 would like to argue with them on that... ;)

Zero plus half of zero is zero still. Next thing you know you'll play rogues with the rumormonger talent!

Does Hunter explain why everyone on the planet doesn't know about demons and monsters being real and hungry?

I'm certainly not an expert, but Hunter: The Vigil ties in with the rest of WoD's "settings". A lot of the monsters tend to have a high degree of organisation, like in Underworld (which basically is the movie adaption of WoD's Werewolf and Vampire settings). They also know that humans outnumber them and generally have access to superior firepower.

Yeah, it was Special Unit 2. Not sure why I thought it was 7.
While I'm immensely grateful for the modern fantasy genre he created and he hast to be given an immense amount of credit for it and the fictional setting he made I found Tolkien's actual writing to be not very good at all.
A similar statement can be said about George Lucas although I'm sure enough people probably agree with me about him that I wouldn't nearly get shunned by everybody in gaming. Lucas created one of the greatest fictional setting humanity has come up with with awesome aspects to it, but when it comes to things like dialog, characterization, or the minute things in writing that make artist great he leaves a lot to be desired. That is especially true after the prequels came out.
They both strike me as people that at their height would be fantastic in the creation of the broad strokes aspects when it comes to fiction and setting building, maybe the best, but shouldn't touch the actual important writing for it with a ten foot pole and leave that aspect to people much better than them.
Just like Lovecraft above, this phenomena has a lot to do with the age and primacy of the work. For their time they were so immensely creative and ground breaking they transcended any technical and literary flaws allowing them to become classics on the weight of the concepts alone. They are all so brilliant and revolutionary to their genres in their broad strokes that the many, many weak details are by and large forgiven.
Don't like dealing with animals IRL. Flat out, no exceptions, don't like. So long as I don't have to deal with them, though, all's good. Brazilian Harvestmen are cool.
This would get you shunned where I grew up, but not so much in an urban environment, I think.
I don't care for superhero stories. DC, Marvel or whatever. If there's an exception, I don't know it.
Now this is pretty unusual. Is it just the stories, or the whole superhero thing? (For example, have you ever had a "Which superpower would you choose?" conversation?)
I'll throw my chip in with not liking alcohol.
Ditto. I've tried all the major drink groups, and they're all gross.
I've never played Risk and have no interest in doing so.
What, you don't want to roll [1-3]d6 over and over again for hours, even after everybody knows who's going to win? C'mon, there are exactly two winning strategies to learn!
(Only kind of serious here; I had lots of fun with Risk as a kid!)

Confessions That Will Get You Shunned by Darn Near Everyone in Gaming
I have always hated Mountain Dew. All flavors, all sweetner options, all the time.
I'm not even very fond of Doritos.

When I roll dice, I use my fingers to count up my modifiers half of the time. Yes, I'm that bad at math.

I found Wreck-It Ralph to be too kiddy in its humor and walked out in 45 minutes.
In regards to table-top games, I require players to wash their hands before touching my books if they ate greasy/salty/crummy snack foods.
I hated The Belgariad series and by the time I got to the Serpent War series by Raymond E. Feist I had given up in disgust. "Rise of a Merchant Prince" was a lesson in economics and international trade, not a fantasy fiction book. I practically threw it at the drop off box of my local library in a drive by fashion just to get rid of it.
I think Canadian beer sucks...

Werewolves also aren't inherently evil in WoD *pushes thick glasses back up his nose*, they're written as a completely separate species that, mostly, is devoted to fighting evil spirits and creatures that they see as the "enemies of Gaia", which, of course, includes Vampires.
There are bad werewolves, not proportionally more so than there are bad humans.
I just recently got into WoD and let me tell you, it's a breath of fresh air after a life of playing just DnD.

Here here...although I think I only really disliked the Belgariad after reading it's sequel and the other two part series the author did.
I have never read anything written by Tolkien.
In fact, I had never read any fantasy (that I can remember) until 2007. I grew up reading sci-fi and mysteries. My exposure to fantasy before then was limited to video games and movies.
I would rather have my entrails gnawed on by rats than read/watch Harry Potter.
