Myths and legends of the games role

Abstract

p { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; } Roleplaying Games were born in the 70´s in the United States, created by Gary Gigax and Dave Arneson, both parents of the now famous game Dungeons & Dragons. However, this game had few years of calm, because in its native country it was found guilty of promoting the suicide of several teenagers who were Dungeons & Dragons players. The lies of the information concerned and the prejudices of the news about these roleplaying games caused that some people became interested in the topic, analyzing those myths and checking the truth of these rumors. One of these scholars was William Watson, creator of the website called The Inquirer, which is dedicated to dismantle these and other prejudices about roleplaying games.
