Even a bit later, sometimes. From "Snow Crash":

Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Columbian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad.

Hiro used to feel that way, too, but then he ran into Raven. In a way, this is liberating. He no longer has to worry about trying to be the baddest motherfucker in the world. That position is taken.

Hello. It already is a recognized human right.

“Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.

Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace.”

Because what is D&D but education in disguise?

Gary Gygax with an anthropology undergrad and an insurance writer. The man was obsessed with culture and math.

The game is based on literature . Think of the famous appendix N!

So my friend, the right to play dungeons and dragons is a human right.

And in all seriousness, my friend, a special education teacher uses it to teach his autistic less verbal students to use their language more, and to develop their emotional intelligence.

They love it and it’s helping them.

Much love, and thank you very much for this post.

When I turned 11 and realized I wasn't getting a Hogwarts letter.

That's silly. You absolutely can go on an IRL adventure if you want.

You only live once. Go on a fucking adventure.

No but I remember teachers acting like life is worth living. Only to find out life is just suffering till you die.
