Nevertheless, I believe that the patterns I saw were fairly true to the overall population of rpgers. Their world is one of escape for them from the problems of physical life. They use these fictional characters to live the dreams and fantasies they will never be able to do in real life. Only in an RPG can a weak, skinny, acne-ridden teenager destroy an enemy nine times his size and still get the beautiful maiden. They are free to be who they are internally and who they wish to become someday. Their dreams may never come true in real life, but they get a small taste of complete idealism through RPGs....
