OK I think it's because they're going to feel that you're making fun of them, especially because "magic" is against their religion. I mean, that might not bother you, but I am just explaining why I feel the way I do. I never liked being made fun of. I am much less convinced that the leaders of these religious organizations are sincere than I am of the people doing the proselytizing.
I get it. If it's making fun of anything, it's proselytizing, not their religion. And I'm totally fine with making fun of proselytizing. If just the thought of D&D offends them, that's on them.
Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)

ReplyDeleteIf I had sent something like that out, I would hope to be AT HOME when they come back, while wearing my Tim the Enchanter cap.
and nothing else
ReplyDeleteCasey Garske You're my hero for the next 3d10 turns.
ReplyDeleteI would wear my black DM robes, of course.
ReplyDeleteI just realized the return address is their local church, not a private residence. Good enough.
ReplyDeletegraph paper's a nice touch, I have to say.
ReplyDeleteI would put on my robe and wizard hat.
ReplyDeleteBut I confess it's a little troubling to me. I can't quite express why.
