I tore this off of the site http://www.chick.com/articles/dnd.asp
Where the comic came from

Quote:
On top of that, the second issue is that the materials themselves, in many cases, contain authentic magical rituals. I can tell you this from my own experience. I was a witch high priest (Alexandrian tradition) during the period 1973-84. During some of that period (1976-80) I was also involved in hardcore Satanism. We studied and practiced and trained more than 175 people in the Craft. Our "covendom" was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; just a short drive away from the world headquarters of TSR, the company which makes Dungeons and Dragons in Lake Geneva, WI. In the late 1970's, a couple of the game writers actually came to my wife and I as prominent "sorcerers" in the community. They wanted to make certain the rituals were authentic. For the most part, they are.
Nice way to go about doing this. He used to be a hardcore satanist. A bit earlier he was an Alexandrian Witch High Priest. And now he's a fundamental christian? Nice to know he's at least consistent in his actions. But wait, that's supposed to validate him probably. He knows his stuff because he has played the game a few times. If it was with his fellow Hardcore Satanistic Witch High Priests, I'll bet it may have been a bit weird.

And that whole idiotic slandering TSR:
the authentic rituals around the table go something like:
"I cast Lightning."
"Ok, roll dice to check for damage."

And here I thought a ritual would involve a little more...

Argl, why am I getting worked up over this moronic site?
