       ROLE PLAYING GAMES
       By ... Steve Lucky

Role playing games are a place
Where fantasy and reality come together.
The people playing have to endure
All kinds of real and fictious weather.
Frequent interruptions with trivial problems,
The enjoyment of fantasy it will destroy.
Obsession with fantasy, ignoring the most basic needs,
Is something no sane person can enjoy.
What is fantasy, what is reality,
And how much fantasy is too much?
Fantasy is a part of reality,
So it needs to be treated as such.
It may not be the most important part,
But a part it will be still.
Distinguishing the two can be nearby impossible
Because of the strength of the will.
People are behind every fantasy world.
Reality is here to stay.
Fantasy and reality have to be dealt with
Neither of them will go away.
