Roleplaying in Society: Roleplayers traditionally view their hobby as one divorced from "the real world" - a second life lived in imaginary worlds - with little regard for societal issues outside the game. A few issues - however - have special relevance (and history) within roleplaying - requiring gamers to deal with the issues as gamers. The interaction of the roleplaying hobby and the society around it is more complicated than advocacy and opposition; in many cases - there are differing views among roleplayers themselves. This section collects resources from all sides of an issue - as well as media references about gamer issues. Games Roleplaying Roleplaying in Society:
