You don't have to feel guilty to role play in a game a bit. It's just imaginary adventures. It's just like reading an interactive book. Have fun! The problem is when people blur the boundary between fantasy and reality. It happens a lot, and not just to RPG players. As a matter of fact, I would say the world of porn and deviant sex has a lot more crazies than RPGs could ever have. The problem occurs when someone sees their reality as so burdensome, that the fantasy world becomes the real one to them. They want it to be real so badly that they convince themselves that it is so.
