[QUOTE="rootbeergnome, post: 1776642, member: 3462"] Hey everyone, I was just studying and heard someone on the television say "Dungeon Master's guide, Monster Manual, Player's Handbook" and so I started watching. It was a movie on Lifetime called "Cruel Doubt" about a kid who murdered his step father because he was too deep into Dungeons and Dragons and Drugs. 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. I can just see some conservative parents sitting at home this afternoon watching this movie and immediately taking away their child's favorite game and the book burning begins again. I think this is ridiculous, and just when i thought the trashing of DnD was over too. I think we should all write in to Lifetime and tell them that we do not appreciate this kind of trash talking about our game. There is a link to write them [URL=http://www.lifetimetv.com/about/write.html]HERE[/URL] Anyway, what are your feelings on this? Did anyone else happen to see the movie? It was called "Cruel Doubt" and had gwyneth paltrow, david arquette and some others in some early performances, the movie was made in 1997. Anyway, just thought I would rant a bit, and share my feelings. Thanks, RB Gnome. [/QUOTE]
