Jack Chick writes christian tracts... actually the articles your reading are from his "D&D expert" and posted on his website...


this was his initial attack against AD&D though

I call heresy.

Everyone knows that this is a misrepresentation of MST3K. It's not MST3K without Joel (it was JOEL who made crow and tom, not Mike) and without the mad dr. and Frank.


anyway, every single time I read anything by Jack Chick, I think of the Book of Mormon scripture "Wo unto the liar, for he shall be thrust down to hell."
For someone interested in bringing people to Christ, he sure is a hatemonger who doesn't mind fictionalizing his sources. His "experts" are blatant liars and never in any AD&D book (I have read every core source book from the original book derived from Chainmail through Basic/Expert and all three and a half editions of AD&D -- still own most of them) has there ever been detailed information on how a real person can cast a real spell, and anyone spending 15 seconds to read the book will see that. I'm still waiting to see that info. I'd like to cast that mind spell on my wife so she'll buy me $200 in D&D rulebooks and miniatures.

Oh, let's start a web rumor that Jack Chick is really an avid D&D player who writes all these articles because he's mad at his DM.

Jack Chick IS Blackleaf!

I haven't laughed this hard or this much for a long time.

Like Jack Chick is himself trying to achieve? :x
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

The Holy Trinity: Player's Handbook, Dungeonmaster's Guide, Monster Manual.  Pay close attention to the covers, they hold alchemical and occult symbols such as the All-Seeing Eye, Eastern Star, etc.

I think these people are mad once D&D revealed to them that it will be rules-lawyers who will master the universe.  They clearly have come to understand that Rules Mastery is the true path to occult power, but apparently could not achieve that power.  So you are likely correct, Blackleaf is based on Jack Chick's own D&D experience!  He failed to achieve rules mastery and true character optimisation, thus revealing a weakness that showed the DM that he did not have the nessessary appitude for true wizardry.  So Jack got kicked out of the group, yes it seems to all make sense now...

Here are some quotes I liked:

"Our souls we will have forever, and what if they have been destroyed by playing D&D?"

"D&D is an extremely challenging game intellectually and emotionally"

"He is also pretty ignorant about hard-core occultism, as mentioned earlier, when he mocks the Necronomicon and claims it is entirely fictional"

"It has never been our contention that D&D alone turns people into drooling demoniacs"

--------------

An interesting note, the guys writing these are like self-proclaimed High Priests of the church of Satan.  Yes, interesting to say the least, hmm....

Perhaps the drain-cleaner/rat poison combo is too noticible.

that's magic missile baby!  I would love to play a session with this guy.  He hasn't really seen me play at all,  he would know that d&d isn't as emotional as he says.  I go through characters fast, most recent one lasted 2 sessions.  Renzo is supposed to be dead Eagle Prince.  You can't save them all!  Long live chaos!!

Renzo and Glim are still alive.  Your characters shall never die, not on my watch, not even if it means becoming a god to bring them back, or blowing up the black hole on the mage ship to reverse time for a second chance.  Whatever it takes, I will keep them all alive.
