As a gamer..You'll find my testimony in the AdventureMaster Archvies elsewhere here, but hey, I sorta agree. I was a serious D&D player in college and saw both the bad and the good it does. Sadly, like a hammer, as written it can be used for good or ill. Under a Christian, moral, balenced DM, I have seen amazing things done with AD&D. But under a pagan, Monty Haul, anything goes DM, it can be horribly misused. That's why I am for the 2nd Edition of Dragonraid...more gaming, more fun, with all the theological grounding and Grace of the first. Game On!
