Re: The RP Stigma
If they say Roleplaying is a childish endevor, then how do they explain training?
In both siturations, you are building skills that you will be using. Granted, nobody nowadays goes out into the forest to slay monsters. But Roleplaying enables us to build and play out social skills that we can then use in RL, and when we undergo training for a job or assignment in RL, we already have those abilities and can react to the siturations that we may encounter out on the Job.
No, I don't see RPing as 'childish'--I see it as a learning exsperience concering one's self and others.
Even when dealing with those that cheat.
