Oooh, Easter Egg!

[Kael]

I had some spare time and little fun with an internet site: http://www.churchsigngenerator.com/

 

[loki1232]

Is that your church? :rofl:

Oh i get it.

 

[woodelf]

?

That's too funny.

 

[H.GrenadeFrenzy]

Damn I thought for sure their would be at least one sign from the game you know like to let everyone know that Kael is taking over and you can come and worship these gods at a location near you...you're tithes annnndd presence are welcome.....especially if there isn't one..........the site is fun though...........I would still like the church signs from FfH though there is a list of people I would send them too...........hehehe.

Aaaaw, and here I was hoping there was a priest/geek running around somewhere. That would have been fun - "Our Lady of Pentium"...

It would be Cloak and Dagger, right? Religous Humor is good for the Soul. Priests are very fluent in role-playing games in my experience some make great DMs and GMs......but not everybody approves........so you have a different almost clandestine issue here.

I have a hard time picturing my Parish Priest taking part in a bout of D&D...

A pastor once told me I was possessed by a "demon of rebellion" because of monty python ("movies that featured pornography, cruel violent acts, and transvestites"). I argued the point that just because some of the actors played male and female roles didn't make them transvestites, which illicited the possession responce. In retrospect I probably shouldn't have made the arguement in the middle of the church service (to my credit I did raise my hand first, and he did call on me).

 

[Corlindale]

I think you should be thankful he didn't call The Church Police
EDIT: Or even better...The Bishop(TM)

There could be some priest/geeks in society, though. As humans they don't get any xp penalties for the multiclassing, although they do miss out on some divine caster levels.

Human Priest/Geek lvl. 12 sleepcaster (Sounds like a Munchkin unit). Special skill: Sermons with Powerpoint Presentations... Just what we needed

Uhm, Kael, I'm not quite sure what Church you attend, but at my one, they don't exactly invite discussion during Mass

Oh, yeah, and they do in fact play transvestites: The sketch with officers running around in Tutus is gloriously daft.

Last night after posting a friend of mine stopped by....and told me they were getting a new priest........a young one an we would see if he was up for a D&Dcampaign, his idea.........a strange synchonicity, yes.......So, he tells me I need to brush up my gaming material, because I am going to be the DM........uncomfortable short silence.......and then being right after my post...I said yes, I'll do it....boy just because it is fun doesn't mean there is no risk of anykind, lack of interest and refusal to play are anybodies choice.........but seriously I ask you:"How can the inexperienced and misinformed make an intelligent decision about anything(Non-roleplayers on roleplaying) unless given opportunity to learn of their ignorance not by ridicule but by investigation which my friends leads to another view entirely. Most priest are intelligent people and when they realize the only things in the game are those put in it by the DM(referee) if youwill and the players then it becaomes obvious that this creative tool becomes a battleground for good and therefore by example their cause. To ignore it doesn't make it go away and to dismiss it without investigation leads to more folly after all if evil is unchecked what happens and if evil can be battled on the very ground some would let it have then you have people giving something to evil that doesn't belong to it.............peoples imaginations do not belong to the Devil outright and is that not what we use during role-playing games to better the use of our imaginations not just for fun but a tool.......I improvised this although their really is another priest that may be joining our game....I just didn't plan the dialogue, it is old hat to me.

Well, Graham Chapman was gay, but the rest of the Python troupe are definately straight.

I was raised a Southern Baptist, and I had to endure several lectures by ministers who thought that I was inviting Demons into my home by playing D&D. Fortunately, my parents were intelligent enough not to listen to the idiots, and they did not have a problem with it, and in fact encouraged me play the game.

I was also told that I shouldn't listed to David Bowie, or Elton John, as I was supporting their "gay" lifestyles by doing so. Unfortunately, my parents did listen to this gem of wisdom, and would not give me permission to go see AC/DC when they came around in concert, and also threw out a few albums of mine when they thought they were offensive. I taught them a lesson on that regard though, when I switched out a Black Sabbath album with one of their easy listening albums, and they threw out the wrong one. Oh, and I got my older sister to cover for me, and tell my parents that I would be watching my nephew, so I went to see AC/DC anyway.

I am now an atheist, and I would be lying if I said experiences like that did not influence my deconversion.

Same here. I can't even picture my priest calling my name during ceremony But thats funny, in a way.
BTW I'm Original Catholic (TM) (One with HQ in Rome)

I got feeling (from reading this page) that lots of religious people have something against D&D. Why is that so, I'm not familiar with D&D, and I don't know anyone who plays it (I live in a crappy town of crappy country) My only contact with D&D is from Neverwinter nights, Icewind Dale, Temple of Elemental Evil and so on.

Anyone who would diss Monty Python because of "Violence, pornography...." is an idiot.

Kael, will you prepare another quiz?

Cool, you roll old school.

It was just fashionable to hate D&D for a while. Nowdays you are more likely to see that kind of attitude towards viedo games then D&D. TSR's highest sales were during the period where they were being "persecuted" by the church. And although their are a number of reasons TSR fell (and was bought/saved by Peter Adkinson) I think its because they tried to appease parents by making their softer and removing demons and such.

Definitly, peta has a better arguement because of parrot cruelty.

Kael, will you prepare another quiz?

Ill try, Im making a new tech tree right now anfd the mod is sorta in shambles. One of the reasons I hate making big tech changes is they are connected to EVERYTHING.

Shouldn't it make workers explode? As well as their hometowns?

hahahahahahahaha.

shhhh... ^^

Edit: No, but seriously, there should be a wonder (like 2000 hammers early-early-midgame, after first religion~) that makes workers invisible with a promotion or something...

I think they should be dead after a little bit of turns...Maybe a kind of world unit? a invicible swordsman or something???
