[DRS] When RPGs first started to become popular in the late '70s, the most violent arcade games out there were Asteroids and Donkey Kong. I don't think the presence of violent arcade games is required to get people interested in RPGs. And, as others have stated, there is a world of difference between graphic (visual) arcade game violence and descriptive RPG violence. Many of the RPG groups I have played in did not get graphic at all in describing the game violence due to the general preferences of the players. dave_stebbins@hotmail.com ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- GMAST Home Page: http://www.phoenyx.net/gmast/
