I am an avid RPG-er (role play gamer). That's right, I play Dungeons and Dragons, MERP, and soon, Star Trek.
There seems to be a stereotype revolving around gamers that stemmed from the 80's: unclean, live-with-mama, pimply faced geeks who shun from socialization. This is not true anymore today, yet you still see it on various sorts of media.
So, my question is, why is Fantasy Sport more manly than RPG-ing? Is it because sports are more macho? In reality, Fantasy Sports is almost the same as RPG-ing, just without the dice.
Just as we all don't dress in our Medeival garb to play our characters, you all don't dress as Ian Payton.
So come on, give- why isn't Fantasy Sports considered RPG-ing?
(whoo, I can't wait for the answers for this one...oh, and pay attention - I am female, a college graduate, and a mother of three. Do I fit the stereotype?)
