Weeeell, I'm not precisely sure what exactly we're talking about, but I like RPGs...

1. I don't mean computer RPGs. They are to limited for this dicussion. I'm talking about games in which you can do just about anything you want that the GM will allow.

2. Specificlly I'm talking about fantasy games, mainly because of the added element of witchcraft in them and because they deal with thing that are supposed to be more blatantly evil and thus can act the part more.

3. Lots of people (read conservitave christians) have problems with games that fall into the above two categories.

Does that answer your question Melody?
