Some of you probably already heard about this through the Order of the Stick comic. Dmitri should probably use their links at www.giantitp.com if he has any comments, as he's the best qualified, in a sense.

I think, and my thoughts cross the barrier into the synapses of the machine, just as the good doctor intended. But what I cannot shake, and what hints at things to come, is that thoughts cross back. In my dreams, the sensibility of the machine invades the periphery of my consciousness: dark, rigid, cold, alien. Evolution is at work here, but just what is evolving remains to be seen.

Kinda foolish move on their part, even if you buy the "DnD is evil" schtick.

Heck, the Bible specifically says that "the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just." If roleplayers are evil, then they oughta be standing on this principle to take the wealth of us dastardly DnD players and reappropriate it for the kingdom of God.

Granted, I don't think we are evil - I think we like to pretend to be dwarfs and elves and we like to kill big, ugly evil things. I think the charity is just misinformed. There loss, and the loss of the children they give to.

“Since it is so likely that (children) will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. Otherwise you are making their destiny not brighter but darker.”
- C. S. Lewis
