This article is about Dungeons and Drangons. If you have never heard of this game, it is a role-playing game, where you taje a person that you have created and expolre dungeons and fight monsters, etc. The difference with this is that it is not virtual. It is what many games of our time have been based off of.
Genereally, when I think nerd, or when nerds are portrayed very steriotypically. One of the things that they do is play Dungeons and Dragons.
I agree with this aritcle. Personally, I have played D&D once or twice, and it is just good fun lke any other game. You can choose a diety for your character to believe in, but you yourself do not have to believe in it. It is just another part to make the game a little more real.
Some people think that this game can cause suicide and other problems because they day that the people get too caught up in their characters but the truth is that they probably had other problems beforehand, and their issues were not cause by D&D.
D&D is harmless, nerdy fun and if people try to say otherwise, they are twisting it for their own means.
