[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 589572, member: 4937"] Very interesting thread. Coming from a Jewish Reform movement (ei Christian) that was all about not being a rules lawyer with The Law, I strongly encourage that you don't rules lawyer the Shabbat. If you feel personally that you aren't living up to the obligations of keeping the Shabbat Holy by playing D&D, then by all means don't play D&D. On the other hand, if you feel that playing D&D is a reasonably holy thing to do on the Shabbat then play. Or, if you are person that believes that one should be Holy before God regardless of the day of the week, and you feel you can do so and play D&D, then by all means play your D&D in a way pleasing to God. But, I am no rabbi. I never had considered that Orthodox gamers would consider minatures to be graven images, but now that you mention it makes perfect sense. I never much liked minatures on my table either, but I have to ask, does this mean that chess is out also - or do you play it with tokens? [/QUOTE]
