Cruel Doubt - D&D = drug use

[Darrin Drader]

Can you find a link to a blurb about the program? If it truly mentions D&D, I could always forward the info upstairs, just in case someone wants to do something about it.

...and any kinda implication on the part of some US cable channel that people do need drugs to game is stupid.

Yes, but you know what? A movie that happens to have drug-using gamers does not constitute an implication that people need to drugs to game - unless you're the kind of sod who believes one data point constitutes a trend.

Don't blame Lifetime for the implication. Blame the lack of critical thought in the populace that leads to the idea that a dramatic presentation of singluar events should be taken as a representation of all other events with token similarities.

Wait, I'm a little confused here.

What do you mean, "We don't need drugs to game"?

How am I supposed to become Vilaris Darkblade, the demonic elven assassin with a life-draining dagger affixed to the stump of the hand he offered to the dark gods for payment, if I don't have some drugs to get me into the mood? I mean, if I didn't have a little speed every now and then, I'd never be able to figure out what my character does by the time my turn came around. And man, when I want to really FEEL the joy as my character pounds some paladins into the ground, there's nothing like a good hit of PCP to get me going.

No drugs? Man, that's like trying to do it without miniatures. Why don't you just take a shower while wearing a raincoat?

Ms. Frost: Marcie, I declare Blackleaf has been affected by a slow spell. Please take your barbituates now.

Marcie: But Ms. Frost! I just...

Ms. Frost: Marcie...

Marcie: Oh, all right. Hand me the pill cup and the water, please.

Debbie: Ooh! Ooh! Ms. Frost! My cleric wants to cast a haste spell now! Can I? Huh? Huh?

Ms. Frost: Certainly. You DID bring your speed, correct?

Debbie: Well, DUH! Ask me if I brought my DICE, next time! Forget my amphetamines, sheesh!

Pete: DM! I am attacking the orc now! I enter Barbarian Rage, and froth at the mouth!

Ms. Frost: Excellent, Pete! The Orc raises his sword, and... wait, where's your PCP?!?!

Pete: Already took it. By the way, your face is melting.

Ms. Frost: That's my boy.

Pete: Already took it. By the way, your face is melting.

Ms. Frost: That's my boy.

ROFLMAO!

Very nice, Henry! Debbie may want to consider using chocolate-covered espresso beans instead; a friend calls them by the more accurate name methamphetabeans.

I can tell you that...um...a friend used to play Mage in college, and partook of a very illegal and naughty drug while playing. I -- I mean he -- says that it was the most useless campaign ever. Nobody could remember what they were doing, or where the PCs were, and people were constantly drifting off into other conversations or picking up a guitar and playing random chords or stuff. A cool idea for a campaign (set in the underground streets of Seattle) fell apart before it even started.

Gaming and drugs don't mix!

It's true. You have to stir like crazy before the PH pages even begin to dissolve.

 

[Enforcer]

I like my dad's name for Lifetime: the "Women in Peril Network."

It's true. You have to stir like crazy before the PH pages even begin to dissolve.

Conversely, 18 Molar Sulphuric Acid dissolves 2nd edition AD&D Player's Handbooks surprisingly easily.

That's all I'll say.

So nice to see our friendly admins keeping everyone on the straight and narrow with this.

I can't imagine playing D&D on drugs. I get worked up enough as it is.
