This is a really good video.
Criticism, theory, actual practice, it has it all.
Would watch again.

Also, Universalis dropped seven years earlier than Fiasco.

Congratulations on reading a few blog posts and joining the fart huffer brigade. Your gaming sucks and you aren't half as smart as you think you are.

1977 gave us Traveller, which did away with the GM role altogether and was entirely the better for it. It had an extremely focused genre and framework, absolutely. Everyone at the table played a criminal or other ne'er-do-well in the middle of a situation gone terribly wrong.
Mr. Wargaming@NotJonMollison
Fiasco? Don't make me laugh. It's repackaged concepts taken from OG Traveller wrapped in trash writing by a walking bag of post-douche slime. And if you can't see the connection (hat tip to @basic , you aren't well enough read in RPGs to even have this conversation.asic

@NotJonMollison Bros crack me up. Despite most of you leaning trad in your Christianity your movement is identifiably radical reformation in nature. This is why you hold the tradition in contempt and insist on your own novel exegesis while shouting RAW! Which is effectively Sola Scriptura

D&D is satanic.
There are ways to exorcise its demons and return it to its original purpose of bringing glory to God, but most of you aren't ready for that conversation.
Steve@sagacious_steve
@UnoriginalKoala 40 years ago you would have been saying DnD is satanic lmao
English
@Couyon_Jean That D&D is not Satanic is one of the greatest tricks the devil ever pulled.

@dscottplays @AlchemicRaker It chases the demons away.
It rightly orders your thoughts and your words and your actions.
If those are oriented toward God, then the demons of "do what thou wilt" and pride and lust and envy will find little purchase.
English
@NotJonMollison @AlchemicRaker I’m not against what you shared. Again, we pray before our games, too.
I’m just asking what you meant by "exorcising demons," because a prayer before a game doesn’t really explain that.

@NotJonMollison @JeezissCristo12 😭 tf bro give a normal answer. Don't make claims without proof

@NotJonMollison Y'all aren't ready for my 10th century England crusaders vs casters DnD campaign. Session 1 my players were reciting The Lord's Prayer in Latin and went through a day at a Benedictine monastery.

@hanzo_kirishima It's not the tool, it's toward what purpose you put it.
I'm a complete tool, but at least trying to do what He would have of me.
If I can work for Him, there's a way even that game can do it.
English
@kcoppernoll We've had players with two PCs. The two met up in a dungeon and one PC killed the other, because that's what the character would do.
Roleplay both PC and Patron right, and put the campaign needs ahead of your own, and they can even interact.
English
@dscottplays @AlchemicRaker Already told you one way.
It's your turn to tell me one of yours.
English
@ChaoticDrewtral There's more going on here than you realize.
The rest of the responses are enlightening.
English
@NotJonMollison I first played D&D in a church youth group
*shrugs*
English
@NotJonMollison Have you tried praying for it to go away?
Maybe stfu, do that, and leave us alone?
English
@JeezissCristo12 @HelmutShmidt same same same
Get thee behind me.
English
@NotJonMollison @HelmutShmidt That's Crowley, not Satan, and also not D&D.
English
@realRPGames Good man.
You're doing God's work.
I will pray that it brings good fruit.
English
Part of why I volunteer to run D&D store games is to help players think toward the good and have an opportunity to play a campaign with a moral basis.
Any "darkness" in those games is specifically there so the light shines brighter.
Mr. Wargaming@NotJonMollison
@dscottplays @AlchemicRaker Step one: "Heavenly Father, thank you for bringing us together in this game to grow in brotherhood, and help us to keep our game oriented towards the good, the beautiful, and the true. Grant us the judgement and wisdom to use this time to bring greater Glory to You who art all de

@IsaiahCopp There are spiritual considerations here that go beyond earthly concerns.
These tools train your thoughts.
Think hard on what path your games train your thoughts to travel, for they will grow used to those paths and follow them in all things.
English
@IsaiahCopp RPGs are tools.
Tools can be welded for good or ill.
Some tools require more safety precautions than others.
We are in full agreement thus far.
There's nothing crazy here but your implication that the RPG tool is perfectly safe. Handled wrong, it is very dangerous.
English
@teutodraeger You absolutely can.
And your life will be all the better for it.
Practice virtue in your games, and it echoes throughout your life. The converse is also true.
The demons know this, which is why they claim ownership of the IP.
English
@IsaiahCopp It is a weapon, and as with any weapon one must be judicious in its application.
Judiciousness is in very short supply in this world, all the more so in TTRPGs.
Rightly ordered, and guarded against Satan's influence, D&D can be a strong force for good.
But it very rarely is.
English
@Gemini_Echoes @TheBasicExpert1 Our purpose is as universal as the Church founded by Christ himself, and ordered to the same end.
To glorify God.
The manner in which we do this may be unique, but our collective and individual purpose in God's creation?
Nah.
English
@Gemini_Echoes @TheBasicExpert1 We are aware that Crowley twisted our divine purpose away from "to know, love, and serve God" and into "to know, love, and serve yourself".
Crowley was a servant of the father of lies, and regurgitating his lies does is no defense in these matters.
