Old news: Total immersion roleplaying…
Personally, myself, I wouldn’t pick Shadowrun for it, and I wouldn’t steel lingerie!
A man who dressed up as Buho, a female elf, has been convicted by a jury at Belfast Crown Court of taking underwear from a shop in a knifepoint raid.
I can’t believe someone is blaming roleplaying games as an excuse to commit crimes:
He told the court he had been in a role-playing game at the time and may have blurred reality and fantasy.
They even got an expert psychiatrist involved:
His claims were supported by consultant psychiatrist Dr Jane O’Neill who told the court she thought that Boyd may have been dissociated from reality.
But luckily…
However her opinion was directly contradicted by consultant psychistrist Dr Frederick Brown.
What an idiot.

I’d like to point out that none of us up North here know this guy, he wasn’t in our local clubs and we’ve never seen him. And this would sound much funnier if I was being sarcastic, which I ain’t.

Pity. It would be interesting to know what this guy was like.
Thankfully the whole thing isn’t being blown out of proportions by the media. Now if he had claimed it was because of WOW…
