Maybe RPGs take more imagination than most people have.</a><a href="http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/commentary/alttext/2008/06/alttext_0618" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/commentary/alttext/2008/06/alttext_0618" target="_blank">However, it just might have something to do with the role-playing community. If geeks talked about cookbooks the way they talk about RPG books, the results would not be pretty...</a></blockquote>
