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:
