Role Playing is good therapy. I jest don't agree with the D&D
model, that's all there is to it.

My vision of the perfect D&D in my imaginings (not real life) is more
like
Witchcraft, or Morrowind III. There is something to be said for Harry
Potter
in making people more aware of such imaginings.
The things whispered of before Christianity took such a hold
upon the populace. The only weapons would be to fight off
bandits and wolves.
Somewhere between fantasy and reality is the TRUTH!
Within every LIE lays the TRUTH!

Indeed, "puppetmasters" some. Like we both know of.
Coined Vampyrs by some. As in blood suckers.
Still it all comes out in the wash. God is Good.
Peace be with you all..
