I know people who live it. they have totally lost who they are, and live in charachter at all times.....you're calling this a good thing? it is not the fault of the game that people go overboard. People go over board on everything. I am a runner, I know people that have totally lost who they are to their running, they have driven away loved ones because of their obsession with running. Does this make running a bad thing/ I played D&D for a number of years, both prior to and after become a Christian. It is no more "wrong" than Monopoly. So how do you justify something that could cause someone else to stumble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own many books of D&D... and actually, D&D is only slightly to moderately more occultic than the Chronicles of Narnia. Despite not having found a player in many years, I have experience enough to know that D&D is not dangerous, and not harmful to the mind. would you say youre a fair and loving Dungeon Master?

In it people use the Force, which is basically magic. I am wrong for playing this game? No one I know would list the Force under Witchcraft. Magic in D&D is whatever the game master says it is. So if the DM is Christian he can just say "Magic is from an extraterrestrial source" which is basically what LOTR is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that is one of the major reasons that I quit playing. not because the game itself is wrong, but that it can cause others to stumble. But as Paul says, we should do what we are convicted in our hearts to do. it is the same reason I have stopped drinking a beer every now and then, not because it is wrong to do so, but because I have a teenage daughter, and I don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can use their imagination and have their imaginary character place spells, but none of it is real. Hmmm ... not to familiar with the game I see. Look here, Brother. you can not blame the game on people turning to real occult practices because the vast majority of those that play the game don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe imagination is edifying. D&D looks like occultic trappings sometimes, but in reality all of the products you buy are at the pure mercy of the Dungeon Master. If the Dungeon Master wants to edify God in his campaign, he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it safe to say then that you never asked or that your desire to play outweighed any conviction He may of given you? As Godfearer asked, how does it bring glory to God?
