What does this mean?
​
"Ta ta for now." Which you'd know, if you were a l33t h4x0r like m33!

Okay, but the WK?
​
That's his initals, duder. "Wounded King."
​
And by the way, the comic you posted did produce a chuckle, I must admit.
​
I'm glad.

Yeah, I didn't understand what he meant. I figured he was joking or something.
​
I was in the SCA, even. There was nothing noteworthy about the treatment of women, except maybe that it had nothing to do with how they were treated in period times (er, by which I mean, medieval times, no pun intended).
​
B, what exactly are you talking about?

it was some group of medieval reprductionists...
​
Well, that's not very illuminating, but I'll be dollars to doughnuts it's not the SCA you're talking about.

D&D started as a bunch of guys sitting around a table having fun by having battle with Holy Palidans slaying evil Wizards
​
More often than not the paladin and wizard are on the same side. Sometimes good wizards slay evil paladins.
​
D&D as a whole does not present the occult as inherently negative, but rather, a neutral force to be wielded towards the will of the wielder, much as a sword is neither good or bad in and of itself.
​
It's this neutral portrayal of the occult that perhaps, many Christians object to.
​
Just stop complaining about everything and get your nose out of everyones lifes.....
​
Here, here. Honestly, what interpretation of the Bible allows people like them to replace Jesus's golden rule with "thou shalt horn in on other people's business whenever possible"?

Re: establishing credibility
I just want to accurately convey first that I know the argument from both sides.
​
You've established your nerd credentials beyond a doubt. Welcome, brother!
​
I have also spend considerable time playing Marvel Super Heroes
​
I think I had a copy of that. Was that the one with the FEAT system? Where you'd bounce percentile dice and compare it to this table on the back of the game books? I remember it was a unique system but I felt it was a tad too straightforward. It seems to me that an RPG system should try to obfuscate the mechanics to discourage munchkinism.
​
To try to bring it back to the topic, I don't think any recreation is inherently evil or Satanic, or even inherently good and Godly. It's your relationship with your hobbies that determines whether or not they're good clean fun or dangerous addictions. They're all means of self-expression; that expression can be good for you, or it can be bad for you.
​
But I'd like to know your thoughts if indeed you can speak from both sides of the issue.

He's a 17th Century French courtier.
​
A dashing swordsman with an eye for the ladies? Damn you! That's the role I was born to play.

I would say that they may be losing some of their most creative and inovative soldiers.
​
Well, duh. Those would be the people most likely to resist oppressive orders and operations against Palestinians.
