Do you think that Dungeons And Dragons ok?

Question

Do you think Dungeons And Dragons is ok as a game? If not why are you against it?

Answer 1

D&D is an awsome game. I play it with my parents and sisters and have a fun time. I don't get what satanic about the game.

Answer 2

The devil is using many different tools today to trick young people into riding the fast lane down the stairway to hell.
One of the most dangerous and widespread of all those tools is his fantasy role playing game, Dungeons and Dragons.
Literally millions of young people are unknowingly participating in genuine occult practices and opening the doors for demons to enter their bodies through this seemingly innocent game.
By the time they find out they were hood-winked, it's too late. They have taken that last step down the stairway to hell and are greeted by the engulfing flames.
Here are just a few who have seen first hand what hell is really like because they fell for this dangerous deception:
Murder – Suicide
Daniel (16) and his brother Stephen (14) died together in a D & D "murder – suicide." Stephen shot and killed his brother, then turned the weapon and used it on himself.
Authorities are convinced their deaths were related to D & D. The local Police Detective who handled the case, came to this conclusion about the two brutal deaths:
"There is no doubt that D & D cost them their lives."1
Murdered Four People
Daniel sat in a Kansas jail cell after a crime spree that left four dead and four others wounded. When a reporter visited his cell and asked about his motives for the killings, he replied:
"Have you ever heard of Dungeons and Dragons? That had a lot to do with it." He added, "It's not just a board game, it's a lot deeper than a board game."2
The youth also said he had five friends who were "locked up for the same thing right now (because of the game)."
A retired police officer who lectures police groups on the occult said D & D is:
"...supposed to be a board game, but kids play it for life and death on the street."3
Strangled Two Children To Death
The headline read, "Boy was driven to kill." A 14-year-old boy who "loved playing the fantasy game Dungeons and Dragons" admitted strangling a 9-year-old girl and her 11-year-old brother.
Under hypnosis, the young murderer recalled seeing the boy "with a rope around his throat, purple, bleeding, struggling, falling to the floor."
The director of a local mental health clinic testified that the boy "became obsessed (a nice way of saying possessed) with the sudden need to kill." A psychiatrist agreed that the boy was "suddenly obsessed with killing." According to testimony, the boy killed "coolly, as if he were a spectator, and with no feeling."4
What happened? How could a 14-year-old child murder two young children in cold blood for no reason and with no feeling? Simple. He had been playing Dungeons and Dragons for a year and a half and had been a dungeon master for 5 months.
Through D & D, the demons entered his body and drove him to commit the murders.
Did you notice that this child became "obsessed" with the sudden need to kill? That doesn't describe a normal (or even abnormal) 14-year-old. That describes a boy who is possessed by demons.
The newspaper reported that the child killer said he felt like a "spectator" at the killings. That's because he was. It was Satan's evil demons who were interested in killing those innocent children, not the boy. Since they completely controlled him, they drove him to kill those children. He was just a human vessel the demons used to kill two more precious lives.
This poor boy really was a bystander. But because he was deceived, it will haunt him for the rest of his life.
How did the demons get in him? Through the D & D. That's the ultimate (but well hidden) purpose of the "game." When a player begins worshipping a new deity (Satan) and asking help of characters in the game (demons), they are doing exactly what out-and-out Satan worshipers do, they just don't realize it.
Around the world, teens and adults are opening the door for demons to enter their bodies through D & D. The heartbreaking part is that they have no idea what's happening to them.
If you are a D & D player, Satan's plans for you are the same as the youngsters we've just listed. Before you say it will never happen to you, do you suppose any of these teens thought they would become cold-blooded murderers while still in their teens?
Satan has deceived you just like he deceived them. You're on the stairway to hell and don't even know it. That's just the way Satan wants to keep it.
You say, "I don't believe D & D has anything to so with Satan or religion." Then let's turn to page 25, paragraph 3 of "Deities and Demigods (instruction manual) and see what D & D says about itself.
"Serving a deity is a significant part of D & D, and all players should have a patron god."5
Surprise D & D player! Guess which deity you are serving? Satan! The list of deceived victims of this deadly demonic "game" never stops:
Suicide
A 16-year-old active D & D player shot himself through the heart just hours after a D & D curse was placed on him during a D & D game at his high school.6
Murdered His Father
A 17-year-old boy from Wisconsin murdered his foster father after becoming "obsessed (there's that word again) with playing D & D." At his trial it was revealed that he played D & D "several hours per day," and had reached a "high level of expertise."
Three months before the murder, he wrote one of his D & D playing buddies that this would be his last letter "because I will probably be in jail for (first) and (second) degree murder and arson. This is no joke."7
In his book, "None Dare Call it Witchcraft, "Dr. Gary North describes D & D as:
"...the most effective, most magnificently packaged, most thoroughly researched introduction to the occult in man's recorded history."8
I remember talking with a desperate boy who had played D & D for several years. Though it started as just a game, it didn't stay that way for long.

Answer 3

Dungeons and Drangons is ok as a game. I think it's fun when you have friends to play it with.

Answer 4

Sure, as far as table-top role-playing games go, it's ok.

But the genre of games has evolved since then, and d20 based game systems (derived from the Dungeons & Dragons formula, and named for the 20-sided dice used to resolve most challenges) have had to streamline and expand a lot to keep up. Simply put, there is better out there, both in terms of d20 games and non-d20 games.

^_^ This is one of those things were competition has actually improved matters. If you do a search on "tabletop role-playing games" sometime, you'll be surprised to find games from "White Wolf", "GURPS", "Rifts", "Shadowrun", and plenty more, in fact some of the older game systems are available online for free, such as the "Tri-Stat" system behind games like the *original*, non-d20 version of "Big Eyes Small Mouth".

And yeah, I used the quotes there for a reason, this way you can just copy and paste the whole *phrases* quotes and all into the Search Box and see for yourself. ^_^ Things really have changed since the early days.

As for games being "satanic"....o_O Geez. That old line again? People have said that about: television, radio shows, Shakespeare, dancing, playing music on instruments, playing that "rock-n-roll" music, video games, doing anything on a computer....need I go on? Point is, your religious-cultie type of folks just plain don't want you doing *anything* they don't understand from their limited point of view, so they condemn it as "satanic". Or as the hobby of criminals, never mind that one can make the same bad-logic-driven statements about people who have tattoos, who study martial arts, or who are Civil War buffs....or who are employed at Wal-Mart.

My point? Don't let another person's narrow minded, *outdated* bigotry talk you out of exploring a fun and entirely harmless hobby. The games aren't evil. And while a few evil people *do* play the games, generally speaking, I've found more evil people *into Star Trek* than into Tabletop Role-Playing Games myself (but I'm not unbiased here...most of those "evil Trekkies" were in fact relatives from my father's side of the family). Either way....there are *way* more *Good* people into both Star Trek *and* Tabletop RPGs. Really.

This stuff is just what it appears to be: A *game*. One where you can take on a role, of a character you make yourself, and spend a few hours having adventures with your friends that wouldn't otherwise be possible. It's good, clean, harmless fun. That is *all* it is. A fun night around a table with your buddies. And *yes*, it is much more fun (and healthy) for you to play these things *offline* with friends you know face-to-face, as you are *less likely* to run into the kooks and obsessives (they are out there) offline and face-to-face.

Still, this shouldn't be so hard, right? A friend of mine was able to hook me up with a small group (5 people total, one Game Master, so to speak, and four players), and I've been slowly getting back into the swing of things myself....

And playing a *d20* game too, of all things. Which I swore I'd never do again because I hate *classical* hack-and-slash Dungeons & Dragons...but the World of Warcraft tabletop game was *good enough* to lure me back in. In spite of my having a strong preference for some of the White Wolf stuff myself...

So yeah.....it's not really about the game. It's about getting together with *friends* in real life, *offline* and having real, non-online fun with folks you know, and maybe some others you might want to know (*as friends*).

Just what is so wrong with *that*? ^_^ Just asking...

Answer 5

Back in the day, like in the 70's and early 80's, a lot of the D&D materials had Satanic references and nudity in them. That all pretty much got washed out during the Political Correctness craze of the 90's. D&D back then consisted of zit-faced teenagers sitting at a kitchen table, rolling dice, eating pizza, and arguing. With the advent of online RPG's such as World of Dogcrap and City of Heroes, D&D has pretty much gone the way of the dinosaur.

Answer 6

If you play dungeons and dragons, then you will be described as a nerd.

Answer 7

Yes, it's awesome!! I'm 25, I'm a girl and I've played D&D for years... I love it... it's like living a second life in the fantasy world... It's NOT about confusing fantasy with reality: it's just have fun with your friends!

Answer 8

Yes it's absolutely fine to play as long as those playing don't begin to blur the lines of reality and fiction.

Answer 9

It's fine. It's just a game!

Answer 10
