    I haven't played an RPG since high school, but after hearing this podcast, I'm interested! Our high school games never seemed to have the flexibility and creativity that DeeAnn was talking about. Are all D&D games with adults like the ones you two described?

    Heya, Corby--

    I think RPGs for adults are what the adults involved want to play. Lots of people complain that D&D is all about fighting. I don't like fighting that much, so it's not the focus when I run a game.
