Ooh! Jack Chick wrote a tract against Dungeons and Dragons! He even ends it on a high note with a good old fashioned down-home book burning!

I hate it when bastards like him make the rest of us look bad!

Hello, my name is Jim, and I'm a Christian who plays D&D.

He's making the rest of the bastards look bad? :-P

But yeah, I'm aware that he's an anomaly. I need a better word for "freak, but the bad kind not the good kind".

I love how much power those "christians" think the people who play D&D have. I would say it was a promo for D&D if I didn't know better.
I can see the brochure now:
"Come play D&D, get the inside scoop on the Occult, have the power to make people do your bidding"

Except for the ugly face the teacher/D&D sponsor made, I thought the "bad" stuff looked much more interesting and fun than that "good" "christian" stuff.

Notice that there were girls in the game and the leader was a woman. Never saw that gender balance at games I have been part of. At best we had 3 females to 5 males.

Yeah, I remember feeling complimented they'd decided I was obviously a hot older woman who wore a lot of black.

'Cause, y'know, that's what Dungeon Masters (Dungeon Mistresses?) are.

Isn't it enjoyable that a game that allows kids to basically just elaborate on "playing pretend" is threatening to some people? A friend of mine who used to own a gaming store said that TSR had a small army of lawyers on retainer just to fight these people.
