...you actually know what 5d6 EB NND AF5 means
...if you own more gaming CD's than music CD's
...if you can explain why EverQuest isn't a true RPG in mechanical terms instead of "feeling" issues
...if you spend more than 30 seconds afterwards explaining why, by that definition, most computer "RPG's" aren't true RPG's either
...if you can discuss the strategies behind a game like Aggrevation or Trouble

If your collection of game stuff weighs more than your car.
If you've ever had to use a butter tub to hold your dice.
If you've ever bought a bottle of Crown Royal just for a dice bag.
....and that still wasn't enough.

If you've ever ended a sentence with "...and we are looking for shrubbery!"
If you know why that's funny.

<...You have ever read and understood(much less heard of) the RPG Aftermath>
LOL...IMNSHO, Aftermath was one of the all time classic RPGs. I ran a campaign using the Aftermath rules that rocked the pillars of Heaven. It was based on the post-apocalyptic novel series "The Guardians". The group consisted of an elite team of spec forces (two from each branch of service). Their mission was to safeguard the president in case of nuclear war. The president refuses to go with them and instead entrusts the vice president to them. The president then boards Air Force One and is promptly blown out of the sky by the soviets. The groups first mission is to escort the vice president to an underground bunker half way across the US. And they must go overland. Enroute they have to encounter, roving Soviet invaders, roving bandits, wanna be warlords, religious fanatics, paniced civilians, and natural obstacles (i.e. terrain, radiation, disease, weather, etc.)

Hey Aftermath is one of the all time great RPGs.
I really enjoyed the 5-10 minutes it took to trace through the combat flow chart to determine if you hit and did damage.
In the one campaign I played in we managed to destroy two of the three US survival programs before the campaign ended
