I didn't play Dungeons and Dragons but from what I understand, this is a feature of game play. I have greater faith in Gen Y than that. I think there is a parallel in the generations who never got used to using the phone or email. There is a whole new set of possibilities as you say around, well this conversation, that we never had even 3 years' ago. Personally, I find it refreshing! Thanks Ned.

I don't know how many times I've seen two young people sitting together staring at their phones. They seem to lack any direct social skills. The same technology that improves our social networks can also be a barrier. As for your idea, it makes me think of Dungeons and Dragons. You have a Dungeon Master who has created the system for people to play in, but does not implicitly instruct players on what to do. Leadership in a campaign is determined by the character a player decides to use. I like the idea, but then I'm from Gen X.
