That is a great introduction! I have never played any table top rpg before but I know what to expect (with the help of the large number of high fantasy and fantasy books that I've read).
I would have to agree on his statement that it is hard to find players who have time for the game without going online.
Tabletop RPGs, MTG, and even video games allow us to escape reality and connect with our inner child. I think it is a good refresh button that allows us to face reality again with a smile after playing.
