Do not forget that wargaming is a tool teach tactics to people so they may be Officers in The NWO. DArn just need to remember where i seen it.

I wish I could find that "Death Toys" thing that was on the internet for a while about how 40k was a way to brainwash kids into thinking that War was cool because... illuminati or something.

Heh, Black Dog games... wonder how Magicians of the Bay are doing by the modern nights of the W20 WoD.

Is he still chirping on about second edition?

I understand, yes you did need to run from rats or your character would die like a dog. At least it had better survivability than Rollmaster. Calling the games "evil" is going a bit far, it was hard but rewarding if your DM cheated against the rules.

I have. I threw down my enemy, and smote his ruin upon the mountainside.

Dungeons and Dragons is evil? Okay.

Now, where did I put those Khornate Bloodthirsters?

4th edition cured me of the evils of D&D. Haven't played since trying it out!

D&D is perfectly fine. It actually contains more resurrections per group than the bible!

My campaign has been going 2 years, and I only killed 1 character (by accident. I hit him with the boss's "ultra nova" when he was in single digit hp thinking he was at full...he's the rogue that never gets hit). Of course just about every battle has everyone under a quarter of their hp total and at least one person dying on the ground, so I like to think I'm doing my job adequately.

Unless you count 4th edition's magical "you were one hp away from dying, here receive healing and immediately start from 0". that's got to be worth at least half a resurrection, right?

The only RPG I've ever encountered that is without a doubt evil is Phoenix Command. I swear you need to make a sanity check every time you try to read that thing (and another one every time you look up a chart). I've read it all, cover to cover, and most of the supplements. What does that say about me...

Behold the wonders of Phoenix Command!

WE must run from evil. MMM I guess I am different because I am the one who likes to face down evil, beat its a$$ into a mudhole then walk it dry!! I played D&D as a kid and it did not corrupt me. I served my country as a U.S. Marine and now I help protect my community as a law enforcement officer.

Have that one on my hard drive too. Haven't read it all the way, but what I did read was less "evil" and more "depressing, in a 'lost my faith in humanity' kind of way". I kind of want to find out if anyone has actually played it un-ironicly, and what kind of person they would have to be...

I also want to run it myself, just once, to say I did.
