Maybe it depends on the service. I remember my dad talking about D&D going on in the carriers in the 80s, but PC games are much bigger now On a carrier, there’s probably still a pencil-and-paper-and-dice group or twenty, but a CG cutter has only a couple of hundred crew, and they work like dogs.
Anoreth and Tom, who are more alike than they want to believe, both enjoy online text roleplaying, which is basically a group of posters writing a piece of fiction together. Good for the typing skills, grammar, and imagination.
Online rpg’s might not be so bad, much better than pac-man or whatever. In my opinion.
