@J0uzze It is total BS, I think tabletop RPG's and board games are brilliant and I'm a Christian, as are many of the people I play with. RPG's are educational and just plain fun. It's the same asinine thought that GTA causes kids to go commit crimes. Something is wrong with the person, not their hobbies.

@J0uzze I was actually told by my Christian mother that D&D was evil. Wasn't until recently that I found out tabletop rpgs were basically exercises of your imagination.
As an artist, this type of game seems so amazingly helpful for ideas and inspiration.. I don't know how anyone could even say such a thing.

Love the Bad Touch reference.

That's just about someone with an unstable mind. It could happen with almost any trigger in almost any setting. Including 'normal' situations and hobbies.

@BigUgly73 That is more a function of mental illness which was already present well before D&D entered their lives. I'm a psychology student, and a tabletop gamer. I've checked out the subject most thoroughly. The negative effects of gaming is nothing more than paranoid fearmongering designed to get attention. In fact, they have been shown to have positive effects on players overall.

I think the "role playing games lead to cultism and satan worshipping and suicide" thing is total bullshit.. To me playing RPG's has always ment having fun and spending time with your friends.

@J0uzze yeah, I did too, until I recently heard a story about a D&D group breaking up because of dating and one of the players, after having his character killed, tried to commit suicide on one of the other players front lawns(by drinking drain-o) to prove his love. Though that I blame more on geeks and romance than the people playing the game.
