lol, now I understand bueaty of artistry (should I use this expression here to describe a game? or something else?) can be appreciated by people of all kind, no matter their ages, believes, races and agendas

LOL, I am BSing... dont mind me
Yeah yeah, I know...D&D is satanic and all that. Believe me I've heard it. You just can't convince some people. Mind you I know heaps of Christians that play, and one friend of mine who's one of the Senior Pastors at that humungous Church in Singapore got addicted to Planescape, and stole it from my PC! (We were sharing a house at the time)

One believer has the faith to "eat meat" and another not, but the one who eats shouldn't criticise the one - of weaker faith - who doesn't. So I guess I should shut up.

Ah Yorick Yorick..where your life takes you, the computers you leave also
Agreed Torment is pretty damn cool! But it takes forever to start up the beginning is really slow..

And uh..which church was the pastor from anyways?
About religious issues..whats a guy to do when he decides that D&D issint exactly gratifying in the Christian sense of the word and yet has met so many interesting people on a board of D&D players?
I've always wondered how other Christians on the board deal with the whole D&D/satanic thing..

Like Romans 14 says...


As far as dealing with your concience playing D&D, I find it easier to play "good" characters who right wrongs. I can also realize that it only a game. If someone believes that it is wrong to play, then I am completely convinced that they SHOULD NOT.

Same thing for eating pork, etc.

Even if my 17th level priest of Cryic prays every night to him I DONT.

There is a diffrence between the game and real life. Witch most of my famly dosnet seem to understand

The ranger looked at the place out side of the elven town near the river, he looked near the rocks, then they showed the way ....

I read in an Australian Gaming magazing recently (PC Gamer or something), that of all time, Planescape: Torment got no. 2... thats out of 1 hundred, and it beat Bg2, Half Life, and a host of other really great games.
I haven't played it, but from the sounds of it, I should.

btw, Deus Ex got no. 1
