Of course, now as I see it.
I must have been so blind,
as Cannabis is sold by Dealers as the Entrance Drug to harder Stuff,
every Dungeonmaster just holds D&D-Games to lure the children into the World of Darkness and Witchcraft.

Thank you Jack Chick for opening my Eyes about it.

Now it is time to repent, all you guys and girls on Apolyton, who are into D&D.
Remember all those Players who committed suicide because their Character died during the game.







Na, not really

It's mostly just a tool which the ignorant use to put fear into the hearts of their fellow ignoramouses.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!

Thanks, I thought I'd never see this again. Some lunatic gave me this on the street in the late 80s and I'd lost my copy.

I used to show it to people for a laugh.

If only I could find the one with the converted prison hoodlum who announces to the rest of the cons:

"There's going to be no more raping in this prison, because I just found out that God hates sodomy!"

I ed @ that 4 years.

Well, once in Pensacola I was downtown on a Satuday night. There were a bunch of bible-thumpers on the corners yelling at navy guys going into clubs. Cute, untouchable Baptist churchgirls were handing out tracts. I ran up and asked if they had the D&D one. No, they didn't.

Later on that evening I showed my buds what the Hell I was talking about.

Heres all the ones with the word "prison" in the description:



Framed
Bible Series #6
Joseph was framed by Potiphar's wife and ended up in prison. But the same God who delivered Joseph will deliver you.



Gomez is Coming
Gomez is an imprisoned gang leader. Before he is to be released, his kid brother is killed in a drive-by shooting. Everyone expects Gomez to get revenge, but a chaplain leads him to Christ. In a surprise ending, Gomez forgives the killer.
See this tract in other languages


Bull, The - How to order
When Bull found Jesus in his cell, the prison was sure to change.



Soul Story - How to order
When Leroy got out of prison, the turf war began. But all the time, he kept remembering Grandma and her faith in Jesus. An inner city story.

You could always write a letter, pretend you're doing a prison ministry, and get a few of those out of print ones for free.

You'd think I could at least manage Prestidigitation by now... hehe, I'd actually clean my room if I could cast that one.

Hmmm, I have chainmail armour and a halberd.
My character in D&D has chainmail armour and a halberd...

****, does this mean I'm going to turn into a dwarf?

Mine does.
He has a backup dwarven waraxe though.
And a shortbow that is more dangerous to himself than to the enemy he aims it at.

Dont sink to their level, you have NO reason to compromise, there is NOTHING wrong with DnD.

It can be "used in the wrong way" to be about as dangerous as a pencil, to stab someone in the eye. DnD has never been the primary cause of any psychotic act.
