Anyway, the mental health angle was not developed and seemed to miss the point. This book came out in 1981, and, in my freshman year of high school, was made into a t.v. You’d think that with, well, everything this year has had in store for us, readers would flock to sweet stories with happy endings.

What better way to end Halloween night than by completing themed mazes? As if Ozzy Osbourne and KISS weren’t bad enough, parents also had be on the lookout for dangerous games like Dungeons and Dragons.
This thing was sooooo noticed in it's day. This is the infamous supposed anti-RPG novel where college students playing a Dungeons and Dragons like game get too involved in the fantasy and one of them loses touch with reality. I read this ages and ages ago, when I was in college, so to be honest, I can't recall much about it, except that I wasn't impressed.
From a psychological and sociological perspective, it was fascinating. There's a problem loading this menu right now. I read this out of pure curiosity and soon I will watch the movie starring a young Tom Hanks.
But as... Four university friends, obsessed with a fantasy, role-playing game delve into the darkest parts of their minds and carry the game one terrible step too far.

Weird ending. I genuinely think I'm dumber now that I'm done. Apparently the 1980s were a hell of a time, back when video games and rock and roll were responsible for warping the mind of an entire generation.
Want to read pure D&D fear mongering from 1980s with out a bit of truth, or need for D&D to be part of it. When I was young (well before I got into playing Dungeons & Dragons), I saw a schlock, made-for-TV movie called "Mazes and Monsters".
Deft, well characterized, though with the exception of Jay Jay, these kids seemed to have too much going on to be D&D types.
And where some of their individual problems came from. Prime Winkel-wagen.
I don't know what's worse; the ridiculous characters or my own lack of self worth.
Robbie was sick way before he played the game. Item kan niet op de lijst worden gezet. Later a TV movie starring Tom Hanks. It did teach me a lesson about playing Mazes and Monsters.

While we have stereotypes of pen-and-paper, tabletop gamers which are not always true, Jaffe may have been trying a little too hard to break them. I read the book back then, and recently, having read and fallen in love with Jaffe's.
This book does demonize Dungeons & Dragons or rather, Mazes & Monsters, but I think most people know that going into these days. Something went wrong. message has not aged well over the years.

For a better book about Dungeons and Dragons players, one with an actual story instead of a soapbox, read Into the Wild Nerd Yonder by Julie Halpern. Fast forward to my years as a teenager and while there was some D&D, it was mostly VTM.
