How inconvenient
By Ningauble! (Probably can't print what I wanted to.) Never heard that one.“The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones.” (...)
And so utterly true in general, especially when it applies to one who has committed only minor transgressions in a life otherwise mostly good. Tongues do have a tendency to wag far too often.
I am not in any way implying that this applies to any of the convicts in Snarf's story, obviously. Murder has always been #1 on my list of no-nos, but I simply do not know enough about their cases to be able to say anything sensible about them.
What I will say is that the story reminded me of how D&D has enriched my life no end, how it has taught me things, how it has opened my eyes to the world and the people in it, how it has been a companion through the best of times and the worst of times (another quote, obviously).
I do believe that the story suggests that D&D has done much of the same for the convicts.
