I Just Don't Remember D&D Being This Good.

Horror!
By Dead Air, Section Rants

I really can't tell if this wacko site is for real or not. The address does imply that the author is really Finnish, so maybe he really does think we have a 1st "Amendmend" in the U.S. As conservative Christian cranks go, especially conservative Christian cranks who take on such scary topics as Role Playing Games, he really has exceptional graphics, and that music is definately straight from Hell.

I was actually just searching for "satan+dead" when I came across the above. While I certainly played D&D as an adolescent (I even had a little problem and would spend hours alone with the books dreaming that somebody somewhere would be a big enough geek to want to play my adventures someday,) I don't have much patience with the topic today. While I always found it mildly amusing that TSR took all the demon creatures off of their second edition books in an effort to fend off Christian paranoia, that's about as far as my interest in the D&D/Satanism link goes. But this Finnish dude has brought new light to the topic, or this is one Hell (heh, heh) of a great satire. You decide. There's a poll to the right.

In the interest of fairness, I should give a voice to an opposing view. But who among pimply dice-rollers can possibly go up against the Finnish John Birch Wonder? Well how about a kid who got a B+ for this paper from a really tough high school. This is definitely the first place I have ever heard of somebody getting credit to play RPGs during school hours. Even Evergreen hasn't thought of that one yet.

This is good stuff!

I am still pondering, but I think there are a few things in here that might tip off the careful reader... At the bottom of the page where he says:

This is not a joke!
This is not a joke!
This is not a joke!
This is not a joke!
This is not a joke!
Just like that only centered on the page and in bigger and bigger fonts. Hmmm... makes me pretty much suspent ALL disbelief. The part about Ice Hockey being a Game of Satan too... that was reeeaaaaaaalllly convincing, uh huh...

Name calling? Oh yeah!! this Finnish dude's definitely Grade A Wacko!!!!!!!!!!!



Ohhhh I love doing that... Ha ha ha ha!

I think that everyone that I knew in high school must have been a RPGer. Check out the Is Your Child A Role-Player section. You can't draw a triangle or be a environmentalist without this guy labeling you as an RPGer. Oh, AND his link to "good hobbies" goes to news:rec.guns and later in the same list says having an obsessive interest in guns is a sure sign of being an RPGer and thus a Satanist. Lovely. Ice hockey is also from the devil, which seems to promote smoking weed and engaging in "Homosexual acts" besides the requisite violence. Be sure to look for someone "pumping homosexuality-poison gas into your home right now!" I love kooks.

The Game of Satan guy exposes that this page is a joke. He's gotten some flak for it.

...For pointing out the clues that tipped you off, but I held off on saying what gave it away for me, to see how many votes would be in favor of it being real. I actually refrained from voting, and still have. There are currently 3 votes for it being real, and 4 for fake, but I'm figuring everyone else will now read the comments and decide on fake. I somehow managed to miss the actual parts where he fully identifies it as a joke, but Chuck and I both became pretty suspicious by the inclusion of hockey in the index. What Finnish boy would dare attack hockey as anything but godly? All the other games seemed to fit, and a lot of the attacks don't read too different from the real Christian anti-D&D freaks.

Oddly, I do things other places.

i'm now on my parents' slow, state-owned computer, and went to the website, and realized you SIMPLY CAN'T SEE what's written in and around the background pentagrams. when on chuck's computer, inside the pentagrams it says "This is a Joke!", and in between the pentagrams it says "Yes this IS (underlined) a joke!" ask jim, he saw it too! but it was really quite blurry and difficult to read.

...But is he Finnish or not? The e-mail address seems to be of non-US origin, but I have no idea how easily that can be faked. Are there such things as "offshore e-mail accounts"? A bunch of the messages in the Guest Book appear to be Finnish, but I really wouldn't know for sure, and they could have been sent in by Finns who fell for the joke. Anybody know how to read them? I'm going to go ahead and vote that "he's definitely Finnish", just because we have to take some risks in life.

I saved the background and blew it up real big, and indeed saw the words.

This was almost as fun as Howard Johnson's clam plate orgy scandal. You remember... the clam plate orgy?

I can't help wondering about the search strings that lead people to the clam plate orgy page.
