@AvalancheArtis1 Reading a mysterious book out loud. Character says “Arma Geddon. What does that mean?” More than 30 years later, it still makes me laugh.”
@ZweihanderRPG I remember this one well. Jack Chick took the shotgun approach to spread the panic. One of his other ones was directed at the Roman Catholic church with equal vitriol.
@ZweihanderRPG I’ve played D&D since 1979 and various role playing games ever since,I’ve even written sand published a few. I’m also a Minister, which means I am a real-life cleric! RPGs helped me develop empathy, something the satanic panic never did.
@MarkBoslough@BadAstronomer Thank you for your critical work regarding the #TEHburst. I’m a minister who was intrigued by it, as I’m also an amateur astronomer. Your work saved me from making the mistake of amplifying something that appears to be pseudoscience.
@BadAstronomer Niiice... is your prize a pillar of salt? :) Seriously though, can you point us to some critiques of the Bunch et al. paper? It has me curious.
@justicearman A cleric or paladin of Moradin, for example would spend devotional or prayer time with the rhythmic clang of a hammer on an anvil while repairing their armour.
