I’ve been enjoying table-top role-playing games for over a decade, both as a player and a GM. I enjoy the wondrous situations that can occur and coming up with creative solutions to overcome them – instead of just windmilling in. Having a GM go “You … what?!” is always a moment to remember, regardless is it you sitting behind the GM screen or someone else. Thinking “outside the box” is standard practice for roleplayers and I think it does lend a hand when trying to solve real-world problems as well. Also, speaking as another person to imaginary people does help your presentation skills.
I jokingly call my weekly gaming night my “weekly anger management class” although the truth might not be far from that. Being able to forget all normal wordly issues (like work) even for a few hours each week and spend it having fun with friends is a big booster for sanity.
London has a bunch of groups that meet weekly and play rpgs in pub function rooms. Finding a group like this is easy thanks to the ‘net. One of these clubs (the one I frequent every Wednesday) can be found here: http://londonroleplayingclub.co.uk/
