[Aeric]

If you really want to write a letter about a movie that's hurting our pasttime, I hear that a second D&D movie is in the works....

Yeah, it'll be horrible. But I hear it will have Paris Hilton in it.
And hey, I really liked that last movie I saw her in.

Bah! It was worse than the D&D movie; everyone know Githyanki don't have blond hair.

Some inspector on the movie was supposedly reading from the dungeon masters guide and read "the players sneak into the overlord's castle and kill him in his sleep by stabbing him to death, the more times they stab him the more experience points they get." I was outraged at this.

Man, me too. That totally misrepresents the game: What DM would reward his players for being less efficient? The Satan Scout guidelines clearly state that a player only earns the Assassination Merit Badge if the (good-aligned) overlord is killed cleanly in one strike.

Must....restrain....from....sarcastic....comment....

FWIW, I feel your pain.

On-topic, my reaction to all this is ... meh.

To this day, FBI still profile serial killer as someone who is most likely to play RPG and/or violent video games, which is just one of many signs.

I was very much younger when this came out. My mother largely due to the influence of my grandmother would never let me play. I had convinced her to buy me a couple of books from a rummage sale, because I said I liked the art. My mother saw this show and promptly through them out.

I loathe this movie, although are there any links to the actually news story. I am curious to how the local media actually portrayed it.j

now that's just ridiculous. you could get to epic level from a single kobold if that were true.

DM: "So... now that the kobold is dead, what do you do?"

player: "I stab it again!"

DM: "OK, that's 5 more Xp for you. What do you do now?"

player: "I stab it again!"

DM: grumbles... "OK, 5 more XP. What do you do now!"

player: "I stab it again!"

I solved the problem of the media by getting rid of my television.

Really? Can I congratulate you? (I also get rid of my TV, but fortunately can watch my nice DVDs on my computer).
