[QUOTE="Yora, post: 5891753, member: 6670763"] I have ADD and RPGs particularly appeal to me becuase of all the "what ifs". You take a mostly familiar environment and situations but introduce a few elements that are impossible in the real world and it all has consequences. Everything changes when you introduce magic or demons, and these changes in turn have other effects on other things, and so on. When I was diagnosed I was also tested for exceptionally high intelligence (to my suprise) and my particular field of interest has always been social dynamics, cultural patterns, and so on, and fictional societies can keep me entertained without end. I actually spend a lot less time with actual playing than with researching and writing, and even then I almost always are the GM and set up the environments and situations for the players to interact with. Learning about cultures is very interesting for me, but with fictional ones my brain can go completely wild. That's just the kind of stimulation I crave. [/QUOTE]
