No, but it will feed the age-old stereotype, and allow it to live a little while longer. You won't see huge protests against the game, or senators lobbying for legislation against it, or any of that sort of thing. But you will see game groups get banned from schools every now and then, or...

My opinion, for any who might be interested, is that it has become common practice over the years to accept "D&D COULD BE A CONNECTION" as a statement that doesn't need further explanation - just as "(DOOM, QUAKE, GTA, etc.) MADE HIM DO IT" has become an accepted statement in recent years. It's...

Thanks for the plug. Your check's in the mail. :) - DocAwk

Here's a reply that someone at the Game Industry Network forum managed to get out of Bruce Castor: Thank you for your thoughtful e-mail. The three adult victims and the defendant were all devotees of fantasy role playing games. In fact, the defendant was obsessed with them. When we searched...

Hmm. Now I'm gonna have to get myself a copy, just to make sure they got it right. - DocAwk

The game is a lot of fun, too. Don't overlook that. A great intro to skirmish wargames for kids or newbies, with basic and advanced rules. My two daughters love it. - DocAwk

Bravo, Blackdirge and HellHound! I don't know if you want to know this, but I'm actually going to use these, or something close to them, in the campaign I run for my daughters (who are 8 and 6). They already have a Flumph as a sidekick who sometimes helps to get them out of problems they can't...

Oh, how you rock. Let me count the ways. I've been wanting a clean image of that picture for a while now. Now, can anyone tell me where to get a poster of it? (Also - anyone notice that the map the guys in the bottom left are looking at is the Tomb of Horrors?) - DocAwk

Nope, I'm not Randy. I'm the guy that does this: www.theescapist.com (now gearing up for its 10th anniversary!) They haven't updated the site yet, but here's their press release: Plymouth State University's Gaming Club is holding its annual convention, EconoCon, April 9 & 10, 2005, at...

Econocon in Plymouth, New Hampshire has invited me to be a Guest of Honor at this April's con! If you're in the New Hampshire area, stop on by and say hello! Details of the con are in my sig. W00T! - DocAwk

I've got it on DVD, and it's my favorite of all the Muppet specials, just because it brings them all together like that. I always bust up when Oscar gets to his part of "Deck the Halls" and shouts "I AM NOT SINGING THIS STUPID SONG!" and they continue singing... Oh, and the ice patch in front...

I have the SRD printed out and stashed in a softcover binder, so it will fit into my backpack better. I'm planning to stash a set of "travel dice" and a couple modules (along with a full set of characters to play in them) along with it, to have an "emergency gaming kit" that goes with me...

With your permission, Tavis, I'd like to reprint your whole message on the BeQuest site (http://www.theescapist.com/bequest), just to get the word out a little more. Let me know, and I can put it up there this evening. - DocAwk

Just found some more. From Frequently Asked Questions by Christians about Role-playing Games, by Lynette R. F. Cowper, M. Joseph Young, Paul Cardwell, and other members of the Christian Gamers Guild (http://www.geocities.com/christian_gamers_guild/chaplain/cfaq.html): "Still, there is some...

I found the reference I was looking for - it was in "The Truth: On Sale Now!" by Jeff Freeman: http://www.ntskeptics.org/1995/1995may/may1995.htm Pat Robertson runs an anti-game commercial during The 700 Club's broadcast nearly every day. Respondents are offered a misinformative flyer that...

It's been a little while since I've checked on this, but if memory serves, the employee who appeared on the 700 Club had parted with TSR on bad terms, which could explain why he wanted to spread propaganda. I thought Stackpole covered this in The Pulling Report, but I don't see it in there...

Hmm. Instead, the idea might be to describe the RPG concept on the page, then provide URLs to PDFs with the quickstart RPGs on them. A different URL (and PDF) for each genre, to allow them to choose - one for scifi, one for fantasy, one for cyberpunk, etc. That way, those who get interested...

Yep, that's me all right. Thanks. Don't miss the letters I got over that little project, either: http://www.theescapist.com/random.htm Most of them are great - especially the ones from those few who just didn't get it. - DocAwk
