[QUOTE="TheYeti1775, post: 5068353, member: 20914"] Why not offer an alternative? Ask the prision official(s) to sit in on games? If it is promoting bad behavior, nix it. If it is socializing them, and promoting otherwise good behaviors, reward it. Besides if they are addicted to the game like Moar Zombies than they will figure out a way to play without books. Worked a securtiy job with another gamer where all we did was check id's as they came into the warehouse, we used to have whole sessions in our 8 hour shift without a book or dice around. Even the 1E DMG had rules for if you had no dice. Put the numbers on a piece of paper and randomly point at it. (if I remember right, don't have the book in front of me for the right reference). I know I used this method once on the school bus cause none of us wanted to lose dice bouncing around it. Now while I can agree with the punishment of taking the items away, what I can't agree on is the seizing of the written maniuscript for a scenario as it falls under another set of laws outside of D&D. From the article it says another prisioner complained about it, personally I would chalk it up to someone bring a bit of 'religion' into the mix with it. [/QUOTE]
