CITAZIONE (Lady Heather 11 @ 27/1/2010, 19:22)
Scusa, ma come hanno motivato la presunta pericolosità del materiale? O_O
Le dinamiche del gioco sono "sospettosamente simili a quelle dell'attivita propria delle gang, visto che esiste una figura d'autorità (il Dungeon Master), che "assegna missioni" ai giocatori...inoltre molte delle ambientazioni di gioco di ruolo contengono 'sotterranei e celle', dalle quali 'i personaggi devono evadere'!!!".
E ti giuro che vorrei aver dovuto inventare queste frasi, invece le ho solo tradotte.
Also, se vi sentite proprio eroi dei diritti civili e/o frequentate qualche forum a tema ma in inglese, vi aggiungo la versione anglofona della pappardella coi link.
Chances are that you are already familiar with the Kevin Singer case, a lifetime inmate of a Wisconsin correctional facility who has been prohibited to enjoy his D&D games with cellmates out of incredibly bigoted and unrealistic fears he was forming a "gang".
www.nytimes.com/2010/01/27/us/27dungeons.htmlAn online petition has been started to have that absurd ruling reviewed and I think that, as fellow gamers, I thought you may have wanted to support the effort, showing that RPGs can be potent educational tools for the acquiring of social, cooperative and reading/writing skills from which the prison population could surely benefit.
The more time passes the more I am convinced that the u.s. prison system is not a corrective tool with which to re-educate and win back to society inmates but a kind of medieval torture system with which to abuse and degrade those unlucky enough to enter it.
www.petitiononline.com/d20d12d8/It could all be a huge loss of time, but I really ask you to take a minute to click the link above and leave a signature,
please, there is a person who is being denied the solace and comfort of letting his mind and his imagination soar while his body is restricted in a cell, and, if you can, circulate the petition's URL link among your fellow gamers and friends.
Kull.
