It’s weird I keep hearing the myths about D&D even now. The Jack Chick tract must have helped with some of the hysteria.

A very good article. As a D&D player myself I really enjoyed what you had to say. I found particularly interesting the last paragraph of your post concerning therapy. I wrote a few things about that myself at http://encefalus.com/clinical/dd-psychotherapy/

Re mmorpgs and social psychology, I found this to be a fascinating factoid. It could kick of a masters thesis on moral boundaries for sure. The little movie the offenders made was fantastic... in a dark and sadistic fashion. btw, have you investigated ARGs?

Nicely described. I often use myself as a case-study to refute the negative influence of D&D, as well as all sorts of other 'Satanic' influences. In my life, I've played D&D, I've listened to the worst of heavy metal music, I've played the most violent video games (including Grand Theft Auto), and I've even used Procter & Gamble products! Yet somehow, with all of these nefarious influences, I managed not only to not kill anybody, but to end up a physics professor. (Though I suppose there's plenty of people who might consider that a negative outcome!)
