MAGIC THE ADDICTION.. I take offence to this because Magic The gathering has
some very good RPGing lessons if you play it right. True while it doesn't
require you to actually RPG to play if you do it can be a lot of fun. Just
like a good game of poker, chess or any other game> RPGING ISN"T THE END ALL
BE ALL it is just another form of gaming that is a little more indepth.
Besides team magic requires some RPing if you do it right and theme decks
are based on an imaginary wizard who likes or knows one type of thing. So
RPing does come into Magic but it just is ALOT more subtle. Sorry to get Off
subject but that annoyed the hell out of me. See ya later all.
