He regularly gets more batshit by the week.  There are rumors the company he founded to produce his show is trying to oust him because he's lapsing into dementia.

He's right you know.  The investigators that went on a witch hunt over D&D were demonic in how they destroyed people's lives.   :smirk  It scares me how they seem to think magic is real.



Personally I'm more of a Devil.  Please sign on the dotted line and initial on pages 3, 14, 43, and 81.  In triplicate.

If playing 5th Edition let me cast spells, I'd do it without a heart beat.

I keep misreading this thread title as Robert Pattinson warning people about D&D, just for the record.

I would consider him an expert on horrible atrocities against humanity by this point.

Oo! Oo! I want to trash talk someone I don't know with the cover of anonymity! Where do I start?!?!?

But yes, 5th edition is something to warn us about. No problems here.

I'll gladly trash-talk Pat Robertson in public, and have done so before.  He deserves all the criticism he can get.

It's not gut-wrenchingly awful, but Mearls doesn't have a head on things a lot of the time.

Y'know ... d&d has been around for 40+ years.
You'd think by now PatR would'a had at least
one dude, who could tell him exactly what he
wants to hear about religion ... and yet be able
to say what about d&d is not obsessive/satanic.

We've a few up-front Christian gamers around here.
Plz, Enda, Niji, Muktidata ... don't strike me as
raving lunatics.  That beliefnet belief-o-matic quiz
I linked a few months back, may have surprised
a person or two, but some of the quizzers "tested"
in a way PatR shouldn't be concerned about.

Count me nonplussed ...  :huh



edit --- and when my kitty avatar says someone isn't a raving lunatic ...  ;)

The problem is that Christianity of the type Robertson represents has become less a religion than a tribal identity. You don't just have to have the right religious beliefs to be accepted, you have to respond correctly to the various tribal litmus test issues, one of which is that D&D and Harry Potter and Rock music and Rap music and video games and honestly pretty much any element of mainstream culture that hasn't been Christianized is evil and of the devil.

So the various Christian gamers on this board and elsewhere would be disqualified as Christians in Robertson's eyes precisely because they are gamers.
