Stranger Things 5 has offended me by referencing the sorcerer class, introduced in the 3rd edition of D&D in the year 2000, while the characters would have been playing either 1st or 2nd edition in the 1980s. Having them split hairs that Will is not a wizard but more of a sorcerer feels lazy and is a further indicator that the 1980s aesthetic and the overall quality of the writing have fallen off.
Egregious.
I also don’t have actual problems right now, so I guess this is what I’m doing. So, you know, bear that in mind.
When I started playing D&D, the media inaccuracies were not about wizard classes but Satan worship. We’ve come a long way baby.
“Mazes and Monsters” was the shit though
My favorite comment on playing D&D in the 80s was one dudes mom that claimed it was satanic and sat in on a session.
She ended up storming out after exclaiming “This is just math!”
It tickeled me. Especially thinking about this mom sharing her survalence of D&D at her next Sunday church gathering…
Remember the Chick tract? Damn I’m old.
tracts.
that man tracted for sure.
Did he have more then one D&D one? I know he covered a variety of topics, I just think D&D only got the one. Maybe I’m wrong though, it has been a while.
Oh buddy. You’re one of today’s (un)lucky 10,000.
Content warning: child abuse. This is Lisa, one of the most abhorrent, warped, and borderline psychotic examples of fundamentalist evangelism I’ve ever come across. All of Chick’s work is to greater or lesser degrees reprehensible, but at least when the subject matter is a gross misrepresentation of something like DnD, there is comedy to be mined. Not so, here.
I was asking if he had several DnD specific tracts, not several in general. Sorry if my wording was confusing
Did you watch the movie they based on it?

Well, if you wanted a refresher: https://archive.is/kMBXe
Satan’s not even featured in this series! Real missed opportunity to create historical fiction wherein D&D actually brought forth the devil.
