Personally, I have no problem with it (though I don't play it), but I know my parents sure do 🙂. The mom in particular (heh) believes that if I ever touched D&D material, I'd become a die-hard Satanist.

What are your thoughts?

No offense

but I think your mom is republican and has voted Bush

This is the only explanation for this topic...Just my opinion.

In case of doubt: Don't ever touch D&D material or you'll become Satan himself 😈 😛

Never was a fan of Forgotten Realms tbh, too much of "turn over a rock and find a +5 weapon"

DnD on a comp still makes me laugh, it's pathetic no Computer RPG even comes close to the real stuff 😂

PS: I'm making my own world it's a great deal of fun I just need nice drawings of everything which is quite hard to find

i don't like computer rpg 😛

but i always enjoyed maths, so there you go

nice! 👆

I still don't think their is that much math in it, sure you have to be able to add up a few numbers, AWWW really hard 😛

altho I am getting fast in adding up D6's lately

tell this to people who flee in terror after seing a couple of digits to add 😛

hehe you know some?

It's "Wizard Key"

😛

At least in the U.S., it is.

how do you mean ? 😉

changed it... wasn't sure of that ending cause I only saw the episode twice

'twas all in good fun. 😉

all the time

That guy doesn't even know what D&D is about DR I have that clip on my comp (atleast if you mean the one with "I wanna cast magic missle" and "I attack the darkness"😉

LOL! I about crapped myself with laughter when I watched that--the hilarity was unprecedented!

Perhaps you could be on the right track trying to educate her, I mean, if she likes something like, say, Lord of the Rings, then she couldn't really have a problem with D&D, which everyone claims was inspired by it, and Star Wars just changes the name of magic to "The Force"

Therein lies the problem. *Sighs, and then rolls eyes.*

My youth pastor is really into LotR and that is why she is OK with it. Because he says it is OK and enjoys reading, it is OK and the magic "isn't really magic" (*sighs again*). The Force...yeah, it's sci-fi so it isn't magic. Except for PSO, which is not Satan's videogame, but more like Satan's ex-girlfriend's videogame.

Get this--I got Anarchy Online (any players here?), a sci-fi based MMORPG with a conflict between an evil corporation and those who rebelled against it (Omni-Tek and, strangely enough, the Rebels). Every single character class in the game has nanoformulae (read: spells...and is it formulas or formulae?) and she says that she wants me not to use the NFs.

Durh?

Well, obviously you should do EVERYTHING any youth pastor tells you, or you will go to hell...

Yep, that's the one. I realize it's not very accurate, but it was still funny.

Indeed, and I am the same way. Actually, you'd be surprised at how lax she is with violence--carnage, gore, random killing is all fine and dandy, but get into the magic and watch yourself...

I'm thinking of explaining it to her like this:

What is the difference between a superhero throwing a fireball and a wizard casting a spell that throws a fireball? Not much in the way of anything, from my POV. I take a look in the Bible and it says not to practice "the magical arts" and such, but I see that as being literal magic--praying to demons and gods, actually trying to cast spells, etc.

Hmmm...where was it again...some place in "Bible times" (how stupid does that sound?) that sold these cards that had sorcerors' spells on them to protect the people. Fascinating little tidbit of information there.

I could make an inappropriate joke here, but I won't. 🙂

Essentially, I made that joke- it was implied. Thanks for picking it up and loving it well!

D&D was a fairly good movie...one I would never bother seeing again but didn't lose too many brain cells watching. I have never played the game

The movie sucked majorly julie it truely didn't catch the spirit of a good game. LOTR was way better to catch the spirit of a decent DnD story
