Hello, 

This post is related to the Dr. Dobsin program that has gotten alot if not all of us upset....

When I was a child of 12 or so the christian community really fought against AD&D....

    They (I'm not sure who exactly) put out a pamphlet smearing AD&D.

The opening parqagraph dicussed the use of magic and the 3 magic circles from the DMG..... It also listed the number of time the word devil and deomon had been used....
    Now I have no problem with damming something and labeling it, but do it the right way, they did not....

The entire pamphlet except for the opening and closing paragraph dealt with some ultra sick and pornographic game that I had never heard of....

It seems that this is SOP for christians when they have a bug about something..... Now I am not saying That AD&D is a good game but it was in no way at all like that fringe game that no gamer I knew had ever heard of.....   

    Even that movie that came out  Mazes and Monster was a ridiculous  idiotic peice

Thats officially my 2 cents...
