Problems solved by technology

These areas have had limited success.

The few adult role playing games as described in publication have some value but for the most part are inadequate and have limited use as these games are superficial and don't provide adequate interaction and little depth into any real issue.

If one took multiple RPG and other data from other locations and put them together they still lack what the Game provides, none address the process.

There are benefits to these but they do not provide what the game does in the scope of benefits.

If you do not addresses it will get worse.

The computer fantasy may be relieved but that does not solve or address your needs and does you little good in the real world.

If used in Health Care tacky is not going to be accepted by either a professional, of any type or person needing assistance.

If used cloths need multiple and different out fits for location, season and style changes be time consuming and not like or look good in the color or style it would Limit your ability to play.

The expense and time to obtain the cloths would be difficult.

Used cards out house are space problem and draw unwanted attention.

Cards are socially not acceptable as are other items in public for use.

There would be confusion and suits would add to this.

That certainly would not fit on the Spinning Wheel.

Plus pieces in place necessary to playing and would be redundant with no benefit and be confusing and cause discourse.
