| | Gary Gygax, Thanks for Everything! | | Gary Gygax was only a household name in households where 1d20 roll across the tables. If you've never heard of the Fiend's Folio, you probably don't even know who I'm talking about.One of the creators of the Dungeons & Dragons ran out of hit points without regeneration and a successful ressurection spell by a even a high level Cleric is doubtful (especially considering his low Constitution score).Thank you Gary Gygax. Thank you for hours on end of exciting weekends and holidays in high school and down time in Deset Storm. Thank you for getting together with your friends and creating a new kind of game for me and my friends. Thank you for all the time spent with my own kids, introducing them to Fighters, Magic Users, Clerics; Orcs, Stone Dragons and Beholders.It's not everyone who can say that they helped created an entirely new genre of games. Your creation showed us that a handful of dice, some paper and pencils can be used for more than getting a full house, small straight or even a Yahtzee.When people asked me what Dungeons and Dragons is, I usually described it as "a bunch of friends getting together to create a world that exists entirely in the imaginations of... | |

| | Another behavioral problem being called a disease | | I just read about a couple in Reno Nevada that were letting their babies starve while playing internet video games (Dungeons & dragons). They let their little boy 22 months and daughter 11 months old got hungry while they played. They had plenty of food just were too busy to take car of the babies. Besides being malnourished the little girl had cat urine in her hair and the little boy has genital infections.Last month, experts at an American Medical Association meeting backed away from a proposal to designate video game addiction as a mental disorder, saying it had to be studied further. Some said the issue is like alcoholism, while others said there was no concrete evidence it's a psychological disease.Patrick Killen, spokesman for Nevada Child Abuse Prevention, said video game addiction's correlation to child abuse is "a new spin on an old problem."
http://news.aol.com/story/_a/internet-obsessed-couple-let-kids-starve/20070715195409990001 This is the part that got me. Another disease as an excuse to get away with bad choices and misbehavior. When enough people do stupid stuff these days it becomes a deaease.

| | couple blame Internet for neglect SAD!!! Children Suffered over this!!! | | I have seen this on the yahoo site and thought to share this with all of yous who may not not seen or heard of this Horrible crime. RENO, Nev. - A couple who authorities say were so obsessed with the Internet and video games that they left their babies starving and suffering other health problems have pleaded guilty to child neglect. ADVERTISEMENTThe children of Michael and Iana Straw, a boy age 22 months and a girl age 11 months, were severely malnourished and near death last month when doctors saw them after social workers took them to a hospital, authorities said. Both children are doing well and gaining weight in foster care, prosecutor Kelli Ann Viloria told the Reno Gazette-Journal.Michael Straw, 25, and Iana Straw, 23, pleaded guilty Friday to two counts each of child neglect. Each faces a maximum 12-year prison sentence.Viloria said the Reno couple were too distracted by online video games, mainly the fantasy role-playing "Dungeons & Dragons" series, to give their children proper care."They had food; they just chose not to give it to their kids because they were too busy playing video games," Viloria told the Reno Gazette-Journal.Police said... | |
| | Does anyone have a specialty in crochet? | | I have something that I have designed myself. It started in my Dungeons & Dragons playing days and the first one I made was specifically to hold dice. However, these would be great for holding coins, or marbles, whatever.
Does anyone have something they specially designed? | |
| | Does it make you angry when people cancel at the last minute? | | I thought I had standing plans to spend Friday nights with friends playing Dungeons & Dragons, but two of the people who were part of our plan have consistently made other plans or been late or simply not shown up at all. Would this make you angry? And, what would you do about it? | |
| | demons | | I have often wondered if demons use gateways to attack us. Lets say, for instance, I listen to heavy metal music, or I use terot cards, or play Dungeons & Dragons, or watch a pornographic video, or do drugs. Not saying I do these things... but are these ways that demons are allowed to channel through?I have heard people say they think music and movies (and other things) are how demons control those already in sin, and how they attack us when we do any of these things...Is this scriptual? What are your thoughts? | |
| | Games games, games! | | We love to play games at our home, especially chess, strategeo, Settlers of Catan, and Carrassone and Risk. I always am scouting out other fun "family" games we can play. No Dungeons & Dragons please. So there must be "game" folks out here...What can you recommend? Whats a fun strategy game you have played? | |
