[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 9281514, member: 4348"] WOW...lot's of pessimism about things in this thread. From what I can tell... 1) Therapeutic Gamemaster - A company is "licensing" individuals to be able to (in theory) use Roleplaying games in a psychological environment as a type of Psychological/Psychiatric treatment. This means that the Gamemaster is cognizant of different conditions and situations and has been trained, at least to a degree, to be able to do some therapy at the same time as they are Game mastering and be able to be in the environments to help others. It's being cognizant and able to deal with others disabilities, problems, or grow individuals in regards to various difficulties. Most often used to increase the abilities and understanding for someone who is already a Psychologist, Social Worker, or otherwise in these disciplines to increase their tablet of tools that they can use to help patients in their care. However, being certified in one of these degrees is not a pre-requisite to taking the courses and getting your certification. [URL='https://therapeuticgamemaster.com/']Therapeuticgamemaster[/URL] This does NOT seem like a bad thing. Therapy can take several various ways, and this does not seem a bad thing to have in therapy. It probably also works best if you have a Licensed Therapist working or leading it, but if they are busy, having someone else in their office able to lead these types of sessions is not a bad idea either. I'm not so sure why people (at least it appears that way in this thread) are so hostile towards Therapy and what it is and does. I also do not understand why people SEEM (at least that is my impression from what I've read in the thread thus far) to think anyone can be a therapist without any training. I am not a Therapist, nor do I use Gaming in therapy, but I understand that there are many who do use therapist and this type of medical treatment is a vital resource today, just as much as any other medical professional that does things like surgery, fixing broken limbs, and other medical procedures. B) On the case itself, it looks like one party is simply pushing a lawsuit against the other for trying to publish a game which they feel the other doesn't have the rights to publish or have breached a contract in order to publish (aka...for a bigger and more recent example...see Rebel Moon RPG). I have no idea what the other complaints may be, but simply put, from what I see, it depends on what contracts and paperwork were or were not signed already. That's basically what the evidence probably will boil down to. [/QUOTE]
