"But we don't know that it's not a doorway for Satan, so why take the chance?"
There ya go.They'd been attending a local evangelical church
Oof. I feel like people should be able to understand that child abuse is probably a bigger moral and spiritual problem than playing make-believe.
None of my business, but I will ask anyways. How did this impact the relationship between you and your mom?My mother fell for that crap in 82'. While I was visiting her in the summer she went through my gaming stuff I'd brought over and decided to throw it all away.

They've obviously been corrupted, infiltrated even, by the forces of evil themselves.What mystifies me about these moral panic crusades is the religious dichotomy in that flavor of Christianity they showcase so blatantly.
Simultaneously, the crusaders cannot be brought down from their eventual societal triumph due to the backing of their loving, omniscient, and omnipotent god; yet simultaneously Satan is strong enough to lead all of society astray with games or children's books and their god will just sit and let it happen, casting them into eternal torment for the transgression of pretending to cast spells based on the roll of funny-shaped dice, because "something something free will".
"We cannot lose, because we have God on our side! We must remove [scary thing this week] from society, or God will cast us all into hell!" all without taking a breath in between.
Yea, Traveller may be one of the best tutorials on vectors...I mean, we still learned the physics and science.
I credit the space combat rules for giving me the foundation to get through calculus and vector analysis.
I imagine that was Satan's aim, get D&D banned to increase Traveller sales. When you're part of an epic mytho-cosmic battle, the hard Sci-Fi feel is probably a nice escapist break.I credit the Satanic Panic for getting me into Traveller in 1981
The only direct impact I think the Satanic Panic had on me was that my mother wouldn't let me buy Call of Cthulhu; I've assumed this was because it appeared too close to what the scaremongering claim. It may have just been feeling it wasn't appropriate in general, but I'm pretty sure I was 15 or 16 at the time, so it shouldn't really have been a problem ...
... I recall a youth worker coming into class to chat on one occasion and D&D came up at some point. I talked the guy afterwards, pointing out the scaremongering was ridiculous. Given he couldn't actually address any of my points (again, I doubt he had the faintest clue what D&D actually was), so he settled on, "But we don't know that it's not a doorway for Satan, so why take the chance?"
Guess I gotta read Traveller now, have been having some issues with vectors, markov chain and AI.Yea, Traveller may be one of the best tutorials on vectors...
I'm not wholly unconvinced that many evangelical"And we don't know that you're not a messenger of Satan yourself, seeking to muddy the waters and have people chase their own tails instead of confronting the real sources of evil. Why take the chance?"

Something I'm remembering now is that some local yokels (a pair of brothers if rumor is true) broke into our school and painted 'Satan Lives!' and other slogans/symbols on the walls. I doubt the motivation had anything to do with pleasing their dark master and everything to do with riling up their gullible elders.
I wonder how common that sort of pranking was.
Oh, these vandals I'm recalling didn't get caught (but my friends who were making bombs did).It's almost a predictable outcome and more surprising that they actually got caught.

He really digs the fact that you can die during character generation.So the take-away here is that Satan is a Traveller fan? OK, I'm in.
They are probably wondering why he is circumcised.
I will check this as soon as I can, but it is awesome you did this!Perhaps I can help you a little there - if you're trying to understand Markov chains, here's one being used to analyse the probabilities of outcomes in a game mechanic.
As for Artificial Intelligence, I find the normal kind is rare enough, let alone trying to synthesise it.An OSR Infiltration System
I'm busy bashing away at my Black Hack hack, and after looking at a bunch of different rules sets I came up with something that seems pretty slick to run multi-step infiltration type scenarios in a way that sidesteps binary pass-fail issues. I'm looking for ideas and critique, so I'm just going...www.rpgpub.com
Miller is the demiurge. Rumour has it Earth was rolled up using the T5 world creation rules and not playtested.That being said, have we all come to the conclusion that Marc Miller is, in fact, Satan Incarnate?

As for God, think about the world you see around you.
You spend 100% of your time fully immersed/eläytyminen in the role of an average person
There are no bennies, no do overs, no metacurrency
Char Gen is random
The world out there might react to what you do, but you have no special narrative place in it.
God is CRKrueger. Let that theological realisation sink in.
Bro....shit. Are we like all just Endless Flight's dream?But CRKruegar was originally, in another reality, the imaginary friend of a young autistic boy who was used as a test subject for experimental drugs in a mental hospital.
