roleplaying people are satanists ;)

Didn't know it's that famous.

By the way, Ghendar, I like your signature.

I actually mentioned that tract in a paper I wrote over the summer. The topic was common stereotypes/views of gamers and the amount of truth behind them. I came to the conclusion that the satanist thing wasn't fair but the geek stereotype was

My girlfriend mentioned that she read it a while back and it gave her a good chuckle until she realized that it was completely serious.

It was so rediculous, I could've sworn it was satire until I realized there was no punchline. Then I saw the little "come back to Christ!" note at the bottom and gaped. I couldn't believe anyone nowadays could be THAT misinformed. When was this written, anyway?

True... though this does appear (to me at least) to be an updated version... I notice it seems to focus more on D&D minis rather than just the RPG as well... interesting.

Maybe it's Chick 3.5?

Nope, it's vintage. Not a thing changed panel to panel. Makes me laugh to realize that Minis were that prevalent in 1984 as to show up in an anti-tract, as well.

1984. Notice the "members only" jackets?

I'm no Satanist, though Satan has appeared as an NPC in no less than TWO campaigns. The first time was a 2nd edition game where the party went through a portal and ended up on modern earth. Since Earth had no magic, the only way they could get back was to somehow find a portal to the one plane that did link to the Earth...Hell. They met this very nice, attractive occult scholar who offered to help them and then proceeded to send them on a massive scavenger hunt to retrieve, steal, and otherwise procure all of these odd items (Including stealing the Hope Diamond, among other things). Then at the end they realized the guy was in fact Satan. Satan was going to keep his end of the bargain however, by building a portal to Hell and then escorting them to their home world. Problem was, he was going to build a two-way portal and the party had to decide whether they wanted to go home at the expense of unleashing demons onto the Earth.

They decided they didn't like Earth very much anyway

He's currently an NPC in a WoD campaign set in the future. All of the vampires and werewolves are gone (ala the ending of the original WOD) but the demons remained and, without other supernaturals to keep them in check, took over. They don't know who he is yet, as they just think he is this lecherous old college professor who likes to award...extra credit...to hot co-eds. He's been offering them "advice" on how to deal with the demons.

Can do. Bring Mrs Frost

Can do. Bring Mrs Frost

It's Ms. Frost. And you stay the hell away from her. She's mine. Mine, I tell you. Or do I have to cast the mind bondage spell on you too?

Mmmmm, Ms. Frost and bondage...

I'll be in my bunk.

Bring Mrs Frost

That's Ms. Frost. Her marital status is indeterminate. Though really, what does it matter? If we're going to let the satanism thing slide, I'm not going to quibble about a little adultery.
