    I knew a guy who got into d&d in middle school and it drastically improved his grades.

    The fact is that gaming is reading, writing, math, make believe, structured socializing, and sometimes history and sometimes art. It’s exactly like school, except fun.

    I learned a lot of English by playing Runescape.

      Don’t forget the woman whose son committed suicide so she created an anti-D&D group called Bothered About Dungeons and Dragons. Her group described D&D as “a fantasy role-playing game which uses demonology, witchcraft, voodoo, murder, rape, blasphemy, suicide, assassination, insanity, sex perversion, homosexuality, prostitution, satanic type rituals, gambling, barbarism, cannibalism, sadism, desecration, demon summoning, necromantics, divination and other teachings.”

      You know as a rule I try not to judge people’s actions when their mourning. No one thinks clearly when their mourning. There is a limit though and that woman found it years ago.

        Wasn’t early D&D played with three D6s, because D20s weren’t easily available at the time, and so rolling three sixes would be the equivalent of a natural 20?

        I could see how that might be a little alarming to a parent in 1974.

          I always laugh at these people. I’m paraphrasing, but in the 7th book Harry essentially tells Voldemort, “I died for them, you can’t touch them.”

          This is of course mirroring the fact that his own parents had died to protect him from Voldemort in the first place, but it’s also very much symbolic of the central Christian concept of Christ dying to save sinners. Harry is very much a Christ-figure in the end, forgiving those who had been his enemies and even pitying Voldemort himself. It’s not quite as blatant as C.S. Lewis and his, “If people don’t realize the lion is Jesus I’m going to have an aneurysm,” but it’s still obvious.

          People who say stuff like this is satanic live in such a pitifully small world. I feel sorry for them.

            I like your grandma. She cared for you; she took a risk by exposing herself to potential danger, fact-checked, and knew math when she saw it.

            And the most important part: she admitted she was wrong and that it’s fine

            This is the part where Republicans and have the biggest problems with, as in the face pf evidence they usually just double down and that’s it.

                I would go so far as to say all of them. The whole idea of Satan is ridiculous, it’s “The Boogeyman” for adults.

                      sorry but it’s either that she didn’t “buy fully into ‘IT’S SATANISM’” or this entire post is made up.

                      people who buy fully into it don’t allow a test run. if it did g happen she was more likely concerned it might be some cultist shit but was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and she doesn’t deserve to be described as “bought fully into it”.

                        In addition to what others have said, sadly the myth persists among some people. I have a good friend who I used to play Magic: The Gathering with. I had been playing for years before I met him (since 3rd edition) and had a pretty decent collection, and he invested a lot of money in cards in the next few years.

                        At one point I was moving away to a place where I didn’t know anyone and needed to travel light, so instead of selling my collection I gave them to him.

                        I ended up coming back to my home state and we became roommates. Then he became ‘born again’ and instead of giving me those cards back, he burnt them all.

                        I’m not really mad at the guy for it, he was doing what he thought was right, but I do regret giving him the cards in the first place.

                                          Pearl-clutching “christians” used to be deathly afraid of anything with even slightly negative undertones. “Dungeons? Dragons? That’s the devil! Away Satan! Our children are making pacts with the devil!” Satan was historically represented by a dragon in Christian mythology.

                                          Christianity as a religion encourages fear and paranoia. None of this is accidental.
