In high school, back in the day, we played 2nd edition D&D every day for a year during lunch. That was great because we had a set time each day. It was great; we sat around drinking dandelion wine & eating beef jerky out of these 2 grocery bags. There was about 10 lbs. of spicy jerky & 10 lbs. of plain jerky, so that lasted for about 2 months.
The problem was, as it always is, that someone wants to be "special." In our case, it was a lamer who only wanted to be chaotic neutral so there was a chance that at any given moment he would flip out and kill one of our characters. Seriously, out of our small group of 5 everyone turned out fairly normal, but last I heard, that guy was living under a bridge in another state...
I think PnP gaming is healthier for kids than video gaming; as such, I have always been amazed at the stigma that has been attached to it. I guess for many people there is a stigma attached to video games as well, but the number of people who feel that way seems to be dwindling rapidly...
Jam it back in, in the dark.
