Comments: Yeah, I'm one of those guys that is addicted to Dungeons & Dragons. I've had the red box, blue box and the books today for fourth edition. I will play any version anytime. I know I am addicted because I meet someone and I give them stats based on the Dungeons & Dragons rules. Like if I meet someone I might say they have a 10 charisma but look like 8 strength. That is probably as geeky as you get but what I want to know is how do I make it stop?

I don't know if there is anything wrong with what you've said. However maybe you might want to keep it to yourself. Like, don't tell the person to their face you just made stats. For them.

I remember way back when I was playing with a regular group of people we went as far as to drawing up character sheets on ourselves. The group as a whole gave each person their ability scores. Then we started to adventure with our characters in a way to build them up and see how much they would change over time. It was fun.

Everyone has an addiction to something its just what it is that makes us all different. For some geeks like myself it is D&D but if its just D&D then I think its because they haven't experienced other genres of role-playing.

I can't imagine becoming so addicted to anything that it over takes your life. Everything has limits and reason. I think playing a game all day without eating or using the restroom is definitely a problem.

Overcoming Dungeons & Dragons Addiction

I like D&D a lot and play it as often as my schedule allows, but I don't consider myself addicted to it because I prioritize and Dungeons and Dragons ranks right down there with every other recreational activity, even though I like it a lot.

I have to say, though, I worry about my brother. After Saturday's D&D game, which ended at about 9:20, he was up until 10:00 trying to make a full character sheet for his familiar and reading through every core rule book five times, then keeping me awake by asking me questions about my game, trying to get as much information on the story-line out of me as possible. How can I solve this?

Overcoming Dungeons & Dragons Addiction

Joshua, I'd like to see someone like your brother dedicated like that here sometimes I'm like thinking some prioritize way to down and then forget their commitment to the party. I'm not addicted at all but when I'm here I like to be around committed players and I've seen a couple that just keep back everything.

Many addiction can be subdued with the help of a step style process. Perhaps we can develop a step program of our own, here are a few steps to include.

1: Admit you have a problem and that your stats stink.
2: Believe in the power of your favored Deity to Heal your addiction (may need a cleric to cast cure disease)
3: Re-roll?
4: Let others know of your addiction, and have them over to play,perhaps Friday and Saturday nights.
5: Make an effort to clear off and fold up the old "customized" ping pong table you have laboriously drawn gridlines and coated so you can use dry erase markers on it.
6: Take you knowledge of blades and develop an infomercial. +3 ginzu anyone?
7: Don't talk to that girlfriend who doesn't like the game. Wait! you have a girlfriend!?
