Well Bryan on the one hand I actually can believe more readily someone might
have committed crimes over tabletop games more than other forms of gaming.
Tabletop rp games are after all a social activity done with other people and
can promote strong emotions both positive and negative. However to claim
that D&D or any other rpg is to blaime for this sounds to me like claiming
orchestral music is evil because people have killed or committed suicide in
course of performing it, heck on that logic maybe we should ban all
friendships, relationships and any human contact at all! :D.
Btw interestingly enough when i was looking up the Slenderman on wikipedia
in connection with the dragonaps game, I did read about a girl who committed
an attempted murder apparently instructed by Lord Voldemort, The Ninja
Turtles and Slenderman (now there is a weerd team up).
However to say this girl was a few nouns short of a collective analogy
would be an understatement.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
