Can people involved in FRPGs become obsessed with the fantasy world of the game?
This is almost a silly question; of course they can. People can become obsessed with anything. How many millions are obsessed with Star Wars? Belief in The Force was promoted in an effort to make it a recognized religion on the census forms of Great Britain, thanks to the fans. Fan, after all, is a back-formation of fanatic, and people can be fanatical about anything. Does that make everything about which one can be obsessed a bad thing? Patently not. Every person hopes that there would be one other person in the world who would be obsessed with them, a husband or wife who has eyes for no one else. Every Christian leader is thrilled to have members of his congregation obsessed with the gospel, prayer, scripture–but even appreciates those who are obsessed with charitable works or church activities or choir. Some people are obsessed with their jobs, and while this (as all obsession) may have detrimental effects, drawing them away from other important things in their lives, we don’t gene
