I used to do a lot of RPGing as a kid, and always reckoned it helped me top history tests – nothing like doing research for your own purposes to teach you other things. Hercules Invictus, you truly are a god among men. Charity points are on their way to you. Fantastic!

However it got an early boost mostly from geeky activities such as text based adventure games, comic books and especially AD&D, where I learned a bunch very useful words such as "initiative", "constitution" and "dexterity", not to mention "ghoul" and "basilisk".

Thanks to your donations we've been able to increase the range and frequency of our programs over the next couple of months.

I love seeing kids getting so excited about learning! Also, I'm a gamer myself, and I certainly appreciate seeing RPGs brought into a more positive light than they have been in the past.
