RPG: What it is
Roleplaying game defines a type of game where people assume the roles of their characters, creating narratives, stories and a plot guided by one of them, usually called gamemaster.
Signs
Parents must be vigilant and observe if the game is nothing but a simple passtime or if became an obsession.
The red light goes on if the player displays a change in behaviour, specially if it involves aggressiveness and a lack of motivation for other activities, like going to school.
This game is not recommended to those experiencing emotional problems, since they have difficulties in differentiating fantasy from reality. There have been cases of murders incited by this game, in association with satanic rituals.
