I lost my brother to D&D

He started playing it every weekend with some friends.

Pretty soon it was every day and he couldn't distinguish fantasy from reality.

He thought he was a Level 6 Wizard, started trying to do spells on his teachers and wearing his bathrobe everywhere.

He went missing, then he was finally found dead in a cave. He had made cryptic chalk etchings on the cave floor, apparently in an effort to transmogrify a dead rat into a roasted turkey.

All role-playing games are a lure of the devil on our youth, that includes RPG video games.

I lost my brother to Candyland. I thought we were safe since he was 27 at the time, but he wandered off looking for the candy cane forest and we never saw him again. Sometimes I lie awake at night and think of my brother...that selfish bastard, keeping that entire forest of candy canes to himself!
