Maybe not at all. I'm not sure it would have mattered - having a chance to kill each other might have been too tempting in any case.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-86644908707657298492014-06-21T18:04:56.768-04:002014-06-21T18:04:56.768-04:00I think this is universal for gamers, my current ...I think this is universal for gamers, my current group is well adjusted and religious and they prefer KILL! SLAY! as the main approach, my previous group was a mix and they liked KILL! SLAY!as a 1st approach too and the other groups ranged from grown up JD's to a couple of actual real life bad guys (don't ask how they go in my group) and it was pretty much KILL! SLAY! all the way down.<br /><br />Gamers often just want to blow off steam and hanging out, eating snacks and slaying and looting imaginary bad guys does the trick.5stonegameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694550968360550229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-72506115352382157072014-06-21T18:00:17.468-04:002014-06-21T18:00:17.468-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.5stonegameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694550968360550229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-17439174290148245502014-06-21T15:13:33.154-04:002014-06-21T15:13:33.154-04:00RPG as therapy.

So, you want to blow up the world, and every one in it. In the game, you get to do just that, if you want. You get to live vicariously through that paper creature, in a paper world, and you get to set it all on fire. And no one will punish you for it in the real world. This is why there is a lower rate of suicide, violent crime, etc., with RPG players (Despite the myth). You get to work out all that stuff "on paper", so you don't do it in the real world.<br /><br />It doesn't work for all, and you can't help that. <br /><br />And, it's worth noting that most of the MMORPGs have a LOT of PvP going on. Also, you could say, in retrospect, that D&D 4e was made for it. It means something about society, but I'm not prepared to take that on at the moment.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02857101727053100364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-79428066617750651312014-06-21T14:41:11.676-04:002014-06-21T14:41:11.676-04:00I think I've run that same group of people. h...I think I've run that same group of people. ha. <br /><br />Instead of running them through a dungeon I just had a arena and set them up as gladiators so they could stomp the snot out of each other. No RPing. Just combat is what they wanted. I set up a bracket so they could advance and eventually 'win'. That was the only way I could enjoy gaming with them.Gothridge Manorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11371740532802642972noreply@blogger.com
