[QUOTE="Nimoeth, post: 3402321, member: 50812"] Hello all, First, a quick background: I've been playing RPGs for about 20 years. I've played all kinds; Star Wars, BattleTech, TMNT, Shadowrun, Cyberpunk, GURPS, WoD, to name a few, but D&D is still my clear favorite. After looking over the forums here, I've noticed that you all seem to be intelligent, knowledgeable RPG'ers with well-formed opinions. (End of shameless pandering & flattery... :D ) With that in mind, I thought I'd attempt to gather some ideas and possibly spark a good thread. I'm writing a thesis paper on the educational & developmental benefits of RPGs. For this paper, I'll focus primarily on "table-top" games, with a short mention of LARP's, computer versions, and board games for diversity. The major points that I've come up with so far are: reading comprehension & vocabulary; math & physics; creative thinking & problem solving; and social skills development. Please feel free to expand on any of these points and/or add your own! I would love to hear any opinions and ideas from you, the wise experts! (Sorry, more flattery almost never hurts...) [/QUOTE]
