Are RPG players evil – do they worship the devil?
The short answer is, “Of course not!” There are people who try to equate playing tabletop RPGs with studying the occult or witchcraft, but this is just silly. The idea of good & evil is clearly spelled out in an RPG and, invariably, the players’ characters are tasked with vanquishing the evil and saving the good citizens from sure disaster. If an RPG addresses such issues as witchcraft or other occult themes, it is for use in defining the villains or as an “evil force” to be opposed at every opportunity by the players’ heroic characters. No one plays an RPG to learn black magic. There is no more reason to fear tabletop RPGs or RPG players than there is to fear those ubiquitous Harry Potter novels.
