I thought Tim’s comments regarding gaming being useful in the development of kids is true.
I truly believe that AD&D helped me out when I was at school.
I was not doing particularly well in school when I was a kid. Then one year my parents bought me the DM Guide, MM1 and MM2 for X-mas (or my Birthday). I must admit I was very happy. Then I realised that I needed to make some dungeons. That was probably the first time in my life at age 12 that I sat down and properly concentrated on a project: reading the books, learning the rules, making the maps, picking monsters of the correct level, thinking of the plot and then eventually running the campaign. After all that “work”, school seemed a lot easier.
I am convinced that those three books were the turning point for my future education, and form that point onwards my ability to learn and focus improved drastically.
