D&D Party Queen

I have never actually seen one, but, what with all the interviewing the Israeli Defense Force has been doing, I'd imagine they've seen it all. Gah!

I've played RPGs for a long time, and the thought that D&D causes a loss of willpower is ridiculous! D&D doesn't use willpower! Maybe a -1 to Wisdom, but you get alot of that in teens anyway.

Army folk should be worried about what kind of damage their troops can inflict. LARPers see more field action than tabletop gamers, and thus should be your basic field units. The tabletop gamers can do strategy and tactics (depending on whether they wargame or RP. The RPers can work on individual skillsets to round out a group.

This is frikkin' brilliant!

But it's not what the IDF folk are doing. They're laying the smackdown on RPers of all sorts, not permitting them to hold high level clearances because they are "detached from reality."

And here I was thinking that computer games caused that. Or was it Rock music? I seem to remember "the twist" as causing physical harm to its participants. Then there was Swing music... that was simply awful. And Books! Remember when that Guttenberg feller came out with the printing press and all the young folk came around spending all that time reading? They'd spend all that time with their heads in the clouds, thinking... getting ideas...
