The Neverending Project

I keep having to put this project aside due to the invasion of Real Life, but today I picked up my little Geek Scoring Sheet and started poking at it, making notes and thinking about format.

What I'm going to do is work out the kinks in Excel (because it's easy to work with) then convert the whole shebang into a pretty PDF at one time.

To that end, I've uploaded the rough draft excel file. It's not pretty, but it's just a brief brainstorm and I'm looking for input.

If you have the time to take a look, you'll see that I've made a cover sheet, then the tabs at the bottom have separate sheets for each category. SciFi/Fantasy is the most complete sheet... comic and gamer categories. I'd like to include the categories of band/choir, theater, and academic geek... but I have no clue how to quantify these qualities. I'm beginning to think I'll need to have those on the front sheet as maybe a sub-class?

Anyway - I'm a little incoherent tonight, so forgive the broken thoughts in this post... but input is welcome if you have the time. Hopefully I'll pick this up again before another three months passes.

I have been listening to Podhammer, yes, a podcast dedicated to Warhammer, and they describe geekdom as a ladder. Play Warhammer? Down a rung. Larp? Down two rungs. Married? Up a rung. Have Children? Up a rung. Name your children after your favorite D+D characters? Down a rung. You get the drift.

I've been listening to a podcast of a D&D game.
What if you marry a Geek, do you stay on the same rung?
