Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

Post by Konrad » Wed Jun 20, 2012 4:23 am

Remember when D&D was considered one of the great evils? Sex, drugs, rock and roll and D&D. Now we're old guys playing it in church basements with our kids.

Ah yes, the Satanic Panic of the eighties. I suppose that never made it across the Pond to Great Britain.

I don't even think it made it to Canada. I did watch Mazes and Monsters on TV.

Yeah, that was put out by "The Watchtower",a Jehovah's Witness magazine I think. I couldn't find it on the net, but did come across the Dead Alewives "Dungeons and Dragons" skit in various incarnations, which if you have never heard, you must.

I suspect he means the awful Chick tracts which portrayed D&D players as actually having the powers of magicians and sorcerers.

Interesting. Do people actually believe that D&D gives you magic powers? Because if it does I must have done something wrong. The only spell I have been able to cast is "Polymorph Money to Models" :lol:
