[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 1827808, member: 14159"] Purchase DC's for d20 Modern, Purchase DC's. (*sigh*, the Wealth system is the only part of d20 modern I dislike). But honestly, there are people who still cling to bad stereotypes about D&D they learned 25 years ago from daytime TV talk shows, bad movies of the week, Chick Tracts and misinformed preachers, they're going to have them until the day they die, and pass them along to people along the way if they can. You can't change everyone's mind about something, especially something with a lot of emotional charge to it. Until his dying days (in the mid 90's) my Grandfather still used racist epithets to describe the Japanese he fought against in WWII (and griped loudly when I called them "Japanese" instead of anything that Eric's grandma might disapprove of). Yes, there are people who think that Harry Potter is evil and satanic (and some schools and libraries have banned or tried to ban those books), that Lord of the Rings is evil, and simply put, anything having anything supernatural in the world even in literature or pretend in any way is pure Satanism. I even had the preacher at the church I used to attend tell me that mere mortals praying and healing with a touch was satanic, because only God could work miracles and any faith healing or man-made miracles that happened after the biblical era was Satan at work. Yet another reason I moved away from that small town and to a city, even a small one. [/QUOTE]
