[QUOTE="Ace, post: 8105732, member: 944"] I'm not defending his views here as I don't share them but they aren't that odd for an American. D&D though has a very large, highly conservative following especially in the US. The games two creators were both devout Christians (Gary was regarded himself as a born again Christian and Dave Arneson IIRC was some kind of Protestant) and in the US a huge chunk of the play base was and is military personal who skew Right (by US standards, the word means something different in Europe and elsewhere) Mostly this view is an OSR Grognard thing and seldom seen in places like this. The old "D&D" is evil is long gone and there are even games to teach the Bible including a couple of 5E freebies from Church Basement Games Still anyone who is unhappy about changes ought to remember the true spirit of D&D is do it your way. You want always evil -2 INT Orcs, make it so in your game. No one will stop you and no one cares. With the OGL you can even publish "Olde Schoole Orcz" [/QUOTE]
