My partner Paula is watching an episode of the television show "Bones"
as I write this, and in it, the main characters are investigating the
death of a socially awkward teenager who was part of what seems to be
some sort of LARP group.

I'm not a big fan of these sorts of shows, so I have to confess I'm
not paying too much attention. (It's not really helping that the
LARPers are portrayed as antisocial and hostile to authority, and
there are incessant references to "losing grip on reality.") But one
of the questions that is getting asked frequently is "Why do these
people do this?"

And that struck me as a great theme for a resource page for the site,
for those outsiders to the hobby who would like to know more about it
- Why do we roleplay? What do we get out of it, beyond simple
entertainment?

I have a few ideas of my own, but I'd like to get some input from you
as well. Then I'll compile everything into a new resource page for the
site. Post your answers in comments, or drop me an email (http://
www.theescapist.com/contact.htm). And thanks in advance!
