It's really the only way to help them. When talking to colleges with PHD's I will often chide them about their lack of gaming experience. If I see someone reading a non-fiction book I will frown and ask them" Do you really have nothing better to do with your time?". Once during a professors lecture on the Honeybee I just flat out rolled initiative and a friend and I had a Dragon Fight(miniatures and all) right there on the podium.  If I am doing a interview I will often stop, stare at them and demand to see there last three character sheets. If they don't have them I will ask them to describe their last character death in the first person with extra points given for emotional turmoil and believability.Once when running into a burning building to save some people I grabbed a dude and was running out with him when I saw this other guy crawling for the door with a Players Handbook in his hand. So I dumped the older dude on the floor, grabbed the crawling guy (and his Players Handbook) and made for the door.In my younger days I was a costumed vigilante and when my arch-villain figured out my secret identity he kidnapped my non-gamer girlfriend and a busload of kids. I way very high up over the city fighting him when he activated his trap and both my non-gaming girlfriend and that busload of kids went hurling in opposite directions towards the ground.I only had a second to decide what to do but when I saw one of the kids had the Rifts book clutched in his little hands I took off like a bolt of lightning for him. I managed to pull him through the window on a line and save him. It turns out he was a Friggin Game Master! My Glitter Boy made 9th level!I could go on and on.So you see people, it's up to you to turn the tide and add a little hate and mistrust in the world for non-gamers. I know you all know someone who doesn't game. Give them a swirly!</blockquote>
