RPG or not RPG?

[SimoneMilesi]

After years without rolling a single dice (kids can be a little demanding ),  next week i'll pull out again from the closet my grumpy&scarred dwarf and i'll go back cutting orcs' heads.

I started relatively late to play tabletop rpgs (at 25) but i sank quickly in the whirpool

And since i'm a bookworm, i looked for the most strange things i can found on this world.

There is a wide literature, professional and scientific, about how RPGs can be a lever for real life, but here i put 3 simple links with more players' feeling about it.

And you? Do you agree with them? And, most important thing, ever play them or still play them?

I think Rocket Propelled Grenades are great, but I didn't know you could get table top ones.

"Julius uses Guest-o-Blaster." "It's super effective!!"

Oh well, wrong game, though, eh?

My top score was torching 2000 charlies in one day and singed hair for about 1000 more who got away. Actually it was just an afternoon of gaming.

But I have lost my touch and since discovered Sudoku.

Cheers,

Julius

"Dungeon Master: Roll the dice to see if you will survive, you need a 5+. You are about to fall into a hole, it's all dark and you do not know what's down, above you see a little light. With you there is a knife, potions and some treasures that you get before you fall into the trap. What you will do player?!"

I love RPG! I play since I was 8 years old
