I've been was watching CSI and the episode had a kid that compared everything in the world his fantasy world of SwordQuest.

His grades were slipping and he was getting bullied over it and kept relating everything back to his RP game.


Also: For people that do renaissance alot, do you think that its unhealthy that there pretending so much, maybe giving them a not real perspective on reality?

I personally beleive to each there own and RP all you want.

But I do feel that it can be unhealthy mentally if people get to sucked in.

Opinions?

I'm with you. RPing and LARPing are healthy and fun, as long as it doesn't become your whole world. If it becomes more important than your classes, career and/or your family, then it becomes an addiction.

Also, if it is a substitute for dealing with real world problems, it's not helping. Escapism is best kept under control, lol. It doesn't even have to be video games or board games. It can be just in your head.

"The Secret World of Walter Mitty" is about a timid man who fantasizes about being large and in charge. He's not in touch with reality, and maybe if he struggled with real people and real issues, his reality would change for the better.

Yeah RPGing can really affect your life and personality, and in some cases I've talked to people in chat rooms who RPG as anime characters with their own profiles and junk, which is fine but then they started to cosplay like their character and even make a myspace saying they were their character. To me I love to go here on gaia and play RPG's but to take it out into the real world is just way too nerdy for me
