The problem with those is what happens to the newbie, never played D&D, interested in checking it out and wants to ask some questions or find out more. Maybe he's not yet familar with dice notations, or has never heard of Ed Greenwood, and didn't even know you could have "types" of elf.

Or maybe he has no interest in D&D at all! He's here because of another game!

Hitching human verification to genre-specific stuff is a bit of a problem, yes.

Most of the "farming out" goes to places with lots of available labor at low wages, where English is probably not the first language of teh person solvign the captcha.

So, using English language based confirmations might work better - base on homonyms or puns? Rebuses?

Ow, ow, stop hitting me!


How about: "Click the right button to continue." and then you'd have three buttons, one on the right titled 'wrong', one in the middle titled 'left', and one on the left titled 'right'.


I said, stop hitting me!
