[QUOTE="Sir Elton, post: 1411352, member: 14486"] Jasper: I'm writing the essay for people who believe in Mr. Chick's [I]Dark Dungeons[/I] fallacies. The essay's point is to spread the understanding of what an RPG is, what they are all about, and the benefits derived from it. But I'll gladly read all of your comments. Rel: I have not even thought about the Language benefit. Thank you. I pretty much didn't enjoy the game as much as I would have in my youth since my Parents tried to keep me away from them. In their view D&D is evil, they can't and won't understand them. But despite that, I kept my love of the game. It's caused some arguments and no end of Consternation for me. To this day, I think it's because of their attitude about D&D that I can't get any players, AT ALL! Not even on-line, and I so very would like to DM a weekly game! So I was only thinking that people who played the game derived as much benefit as I did. For instance, when I was in Junior High 15-16 years ago, I was a walking Encyclopedia of Greek Mythology. Ask me any question, and I can answer it for you. In fact, I can even tell you about the magic spring that turned men and women into homosexuals (nothing like that exists, I assure you). So I was basically writing from my own experience. [/QUOTE]
