I have a detailed interview coming up with a Christian woman (senior
receptionist at a business office) on this topic. The interview took place last
month over a few weeks. She had previously banned her children from D&D
through the 80s and 90s because she had heard "Bad things" about it. She had
felt too busy to take the time to investigate, and because her church leaders
and fellow members said it was bad, she just accepted that (as most people do
unfortunately).

What triggered the conversation, when she realized I was using the offices for
RPG Research, and she realized that linked with D&D, she also thought her
nephew-in-law had committed a double homicide this past December because of
his (in her view) addiction to D&D, and she was concerned about having that in
the office complex.

However, after several explanations and pointing her to the existing research
data, she finally had a complete change of viewpoint. I hope to publish this
interview later this week.

Mission: Clearly establish through rigorous scientific
testing the causal therapeutic and educational impact
of role-playing gaming on participants.

"Holistic medicine treats the person rather than the disease,
its concern lies with the 'whole person' and with permitting
individuals to assume self-responsibility for their own health.
Whereas illness is the sole concern of 'traditional medicine',
holistic 'well medicine' deals with wellness and health promotion"
