There is a danger in becoming over-involved in D&D, spending a large amount of time, money, and interest in it
Gary Gygax, originator of the game, said that "the most extensive requirement of the game is time." (D&D Basic Manual, p. 3)
Articles in newspapers and magazines have told of many people who spent many hours a day or week playing, sometimes investing hundreds to thousands of dollars in materials and conventions.
Again Gary Gygax has said: "You have to pursue D&D with your entire soul if you're going to do well at it." (Rolling Stone, Oct. 1980)
People tell of talking about nothing else, having no friends who do not play, experiencing peer pressure to play and rejection of those who do not.
Ephesians 5:15-17 tells us to make the most of our time, and to watch carefully how we walk.
Philippians 4:8 says: "...fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable." Does D&D measure up to these standards?
Very Christian Huh ???
There is a danger in players becoming too involved with their imaginary characters
People have said: "I've seen people have fits, yell for fifteen minutes, hurl dice...when their character dies." "It's when you take the game home with you, when Johnny's mad for a week because you killed his character, that it's an addiction." Gary Gygax said: "when you start playing out a fantasy, it can really eat up time and capture you totally. Most people can handle it, but there are probably exceptions." A Dr. Douglas Brown said: "If a person isn't too well put together to begin with, it's not going to be good for him."
Many find D&D to be an escape from the real world and find it more exciting. But some have found it hard to separate the real from the imaginary and carry the game into real life.
Matthew 16:24 and the verses following talk about Christians "taking up a cross", not trying to escape from the world, but giving up their lives for Jesus and serving Him.
See Philippians 4:8 again.
yet agian very christian game huh
D&D contains a lot of violence
The whole concept of the game is to do battle with monsters. Characters are equipped with various types of armor, weaponry, potions and spells. It is necessary to kill, not just the monsters but even humans, in order to succeed in the game.
A central Washington police department asks as a standard question of those arrested: "Are you a participant of Fantasy Role Games?" Another source stated that 60 suicides were directly attributed to D&D in 1981.
Galatians 5:19-26 describes our human natures and the fruit of the Spirit. What is it saying?
i think enough said you cant say that D&D is a christian game when it goes aganst what God says and i believe Jesus wouldent get near it
ANd its even backed up with your D&D handbook
