After reading your posts, I formed a rather subjective idea of what "escapism" means.So I will say:Non Escapist RPGs: You meet to play and have fun with friends. It's a pleasant social activity. However, besides playing your life is plentiful and fulfilling. You could well live without RPGs at all, as there is so many equally interesting things to do.Escapist RPGs: Your life is crap: dull job, small pay, no girlfriend. How could you have a girlfriend at 290 pounds anyway. There is nothing for you in this life... but there is RPGs. Here you are a bodybulded hero, there is plenty of action and fun; excitement! You spend all your time at your boring job thinking about your character and now that his next level he will be able to... And there is also this pic of nude succubus that you... Hum, well.I think that probably most of us are somewhere between these two extremes. And of course the word "escapism" is the great word to use when one wants to justify his despising someone for reason that person is playing rpgs.</blockquote>
