Dungeons and Dragons Is Good For You (1 Viewer)

I have seen a few times where people have tried to knock Dungeons and Dragons as something "silly" or "harmful." I would like to include an excerpt from author Bill Savicsek:

D&D promotes teamwork and socialization. It teaches math and reading skills (I might add also some very basic physics skills). It encourages creativity and imaginative problem solving. It's uplifting, inspirational and thought provoking. And it's fun. You sit in the same room with other people, socialize, and create amazingly deep fantasy worlds in which good battles evil on a regular basis and good usually wins in the end. What could be better than that?

Yeah, but it doesn't impress girls though does it? Have to prioritise I'm afraid.

Depends on the girl. If she is smart, intelligent, open minded, then sure, it should impress her. On the other hand if she is dumb, stupid, uneducated, closed minded, well, then I guess, no, she wouldn't be impressed now would she?

:shock: Take it easy there, I don't think we need any roleplaying fundamentalists.:2razz:

I'm sure there are plenty of people smart or otherwise of both sexes who believe D&D to be the best thing ever. I'm also sure that there are plenty of others, smart, stupid and everything in between who think it's the dumbest thing ever.

If you like it, knock yourself out, if you don't, well that's equally fine.
