1.0 out of 5 stars hhmmmmm, 3 Aug 1999

By A Customer

I am a christain and i find AD&D to be a very fun passtime. It helps increase my creativity and writing skills. I do not see how someone who has probably never even read a rule book or gave the game a try could say it is bad. The bibliography is a sign that she is (I say this with respect) ignorant of the fact. She never studied the subject she just wrote on it.

1.0 out of 5 stars With out a doubt the most inane book of all time., 23 Jul 1999

By A Customer

It amazes me that any logical person could actually take this facist manefesto seriousley. I have seen the AD&D game have seriouse Consequences on its players, like creativity, improved reading skills, improved math ablities. Yes I can see how fundimentalist Christians would think this is evil. Perhaps these pious individuals should look to real concerns before they attempt to save us from this demonic game.

1.0 out of 5 stars Give me a break, 3 Jun 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Truth about Dungeons & Dragons with Cassette(s) (Audio Cassette)

Oh gosh, where to start? I'd give this negative stars if i could, because it poorly researched and, quite frankly, absolute B.S. I've been playing AD&D for seven years and I know I've turned out horrible. 99% on standardized tests, 3.8 GPA in college, English scholarship, awards for outstanding citizenship. Give me a break. Everyone i've gamed with had been incredibly smart and quite kind. Perhaps Robie should call her next book "The Truth About Football" or "Perhaps the Truth About Uno." I know the games of Uno I play with my family are much more aggresive than the gaming sessions I attend with friends. After over a year off I started playing once more and i feel so much relief after once again having the soothing feeling of thinking my way through traps, riddle, and even tricking my way past the monsters. My kobold cleric of Milil and I ask all parents who worry about their child playing dungeons and dragons to please sit in on a session. My mother and father seemed to enjoy the game quite a bit when they did so. And please, please, do not blindly accept the lies herein contained.
