Interview With Michael Stackpole For Skeptic Zone
From Wikipedia:
Michael A. Stackpole (born 1957) is a science fiction and fantasy author best known for his Star Wars and Battletech books… From 1977 on, he worked as a designer of role-playing games for various gaming companies, and wrote dozens of magazine articles for the industry. During this time, in response to the accusations of Patricia Pulling (among others) who felt that the “occult” elements of Dungeons & Dragons were driving people to satanism, murder and suicide, perhaps even as part of a vast Satanic ritual abuse conspiracy, Stackpole did a research study [Kylie's blog entry on a later study can be found here: ''Dungeons And Dragons - Or Mazes And Monsters?] on all American legal cases where injury or death had been attributed to gaming. He found that not only were the links to gaming very weak, but that even if all of the reports had been valid, they showed that gamers were violent or suicidal far less often than the general public.

I have been thinking is there any chance that you might cross post the show notes here so that listeners can comment on each of the shows. I know you probably recieve email but I think it would develop community arond the blog /show?

Yes, currently writing up the last few show notes so people can comment? There’s also Education Zone, with more links for people. You can see a few eps are out of date but I’m doing them now – feel free to comment as much as you like!
