[QUOTE="pdkoning, post: 1527212, member: 18140"] I totally agree with you, I am Christian living in the Dutch Bible-belt, and I play D&D, I did a lot of research before (and during) I began playing it, because I heard it was 'evil'. The game itself, although it might not be suited for very young kids, is not evil. It can be used for bad purposes, but almost anything can be used for bad purposes. Some people might think it is a bad game, but with a little explanation from me, they usually understand what D&D really is. I often rerer to J.R.R Tolkien and C.S. lewis, and tell them we play in worlds like Middle-Earth or Narnia, and adventure, and instead of reading the story the writer invented, we invent the story ourselves. I think D20 is a great opportunity to spend time with friends, and to relax a bit. Torm indicated that although we act heroicly in the game, doing good deeds, we usually do not do that in real life. I agree with you, most people do not have the lawful good alignment, but small things make the difference, I must admit that D&D made me appreciate the environment and nature more than before I played D&D. Fantasy worlds usually have a beautiful environment and animals, and I thought it would not be a bad idea if earth had a beatiful environment and lots of animals as well. [/QUOTE]
