Andrew,
I had my fill of Inquisitors when, as practicing evangelical
Presbyterian attending a small Nazarene (very white middle class)
church,
I commented that one parishioner's fear of D&D was based his "God being
too small" if he was threatened by a dice rolling game played with 25mm
tall metal figures and one's imagination. Took several years to finally
convince a few of them that any evil in the game was (in a paraphrase of
Galadriel's words) brought in by the participants, not the game.
It's about as much fun as trying to convince someone that this (war
games, especially miniatures) is a game suitable for adults. Only
longer. If that's possible.
Gracias, Glenn/Triphibious (American Mongrel)
