That said, I don’t think it’s really possibly to ‘dumb down’ tabletop RPGs. Sure, some may be more or less high brow than others but in all cases there is a basic requirement of literacy, numeracy and simple communication skills in order to be able to play them. I’m a high school teacher, so believe me when I say this would be a major achievement for a lot of students, and without trying to sound elitist in any way (I wish more people would play them!) I think by extension it is the same for the general public. People who play RPGs may be vulnerable to lacking social skills or whatever, but they are rarely ‘dumb’, and the games they chose to play certainly aren’t.</blockquote>
