You should read this Slate article about the new documentary, Darkon, whether you've ever played a live-action role playing game or not.
Best line:
"They're hacking reality, creating a social system where the part of their lives that matters isn't the part that stresses over a PowerPoint presentation, but the part that charges into battle and does great things."
Bingo. I haven't played a role-playing game in too long, but that line summarizes exactly the feeling I remember getting from the experience.
