Re: A Christian alternative to "Dungeons and Dragons"?

I highly doubt Satan has influenced me through D&D, but if he has, he's doing a pretty lousy job of it. I've been playing for four years and not once have I joined a cult, cast a spell, or sacrificed a virgin.

What a model of efficiency Satan is.

My point is, if I can play D&D without being a pawn of Satan, I'm sure that those stronger in faith than I am can as well.

It seems to me that you are spitting in God's Loving face, and when nothing happens, you declare it a victory. IN HIS GOOD TIME Jesus will smite you mightily for wallowing in this filth, and you know it.

Satan is the father of lies, boy. When you appear before Jesus on bended knee come Judgment Day, do you really want to have to explain to Him why you helped spread satanism instead of rebuking it?

Better decide which team you're batting for.

I wouldn't call any of what I've done a victory. I'm just a guy who can play D&D without engaging in Satanic activities in real life. It's not as though I've succeeded where so many others have failed. I think the reason that people believe D&D is Satanic is because a few kids who played D&D made the news for committing crimes. All the other D&D players who don't commit such acts are rarely or never discussed in the news because they don't do anything newsworthy; they're just regular people.

Re: A Christian alternative to "Dungeons and Dragons"?

Pal, now you listen here.

I could go watch wack jobs perform Satan's dances, view people performing acts of perversion with farm animals from a closet, converse with hookers, listen to politicians. All of this is the same as is your innocent play. But trust me when I tell you you are flirting with the Devil, Son. As is always the case, it goes from leering glances, to curious groping, to dipping the tip to all out debauchery. Curiosity killed the cat. The Devil knows how to tempt you like a $5 whore or a $6 goat. Take the D&D and toss it in a chipper. Run to Jesus and pray he forgives you.

Why did God make goats more expensive than whores?

Re: A Christian alternative to "Dungeons and Dragons"?

Honestly, if you're trying to make a Christian alternative to D&D that is, in effect, Christian "D&D", you'd HAVE to use dice. Some of the alternatives posted would destroy the challenge and therefore the fun! However, I'd imagine to demote gambling you could put things similar to Casinos for gambling, and then make the rolls near/always impossible to succeed in any of the games, and make them lose a load of the currency you'd use in-game. It would deter kids away from gambling because it's really telling them that you almost never, ever win in gambling and when you lose, boy do you lose.

You would, of course, have to do something like this pretty quickly to get the whole "dice betting games are good" idea out of their heads; gambling addiction/promotion is a terrible thing. You could also insert "quests" to get these places shut down for one reason or another, be it housing satanists to rigging their games.

Hope I helped, I'm interested in seeing where this will go.

Because a goat has more value.

Do not ask such stupid questions, You only confirm you are an moron when you do that.

Re: A Christian alternative to "Dungeons and Dragons"?

Instead of ungodly dice or spinners, why not use divine inspiration? Let God speak to players about how many spaces they should move. Glory!

This is a great idea!
Additionally, why waste our time discussing on how to make a wholesome version of such an evil thing when we could just come up with our own game!
I have no doubt that God's Word can provide us with ample rules to enjoy a fun game of Saviors and Sinners! We don't even need to make up our own characters, His Word already has the perfect characters for you to choose from!

Re: A Christian alternative to "Dungeons and Dragons"?

A message from the high-priced joo lawyers at LBC:

"Saviors and Sinners" is a patented name belonging to Landover Baptist Church exclusively. So watch it, or you'll owe us money."

End of message.

[Paragon of virtue]

Re: A Christian alternative to "Dungeons and Dragons"?

The possibilities of running a game of 'Saviors and Sinners' are endless. Without thinking much imagine the adventure in this scenario:

Head Pastor: You are at home studying your Bible when you hear a knock at the door. Upon opening the door you see two well dressed young, men holding what appear to be Bibles....What do you do?

Mordecai(played by Malachai): Mordecai uses his Christian Discernment skill to determine if these are True Christians.

Head Pastor: As these are Jehova's Witnesses(DC:9) and will fall somewhere between Scientologists (DC:1) and Mormons (DC:15) in their 'wolf in sheep's clothing' level, Malachai will need to roll a 9 or better on a D20 (or correctly answer nine Bible trivia questions out of twenty if you prefer to play dice free) in order to see through their deceptive lies.

<Malachai roles an 11! or answers the appropriate number of questions>

Mordecai(played by Malachai): I see through your lies Satan! Your so called 'Witnesses' are false prophets!! You sinners deny the existence of Hell and eternal punishment, but guess what? Hell is real and the two of you are going!! You believe that only a ruling class of 144,000, are allowed to go to heaven. I know the Lord said, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13!

<Mordecai has good answers for these charlatans, but he may not be out of the woods just yet>

Head Pastor Good Job! ...but there is an 85% chance that these two heathens are black or some other "oppressed minority". Roll Percentile Dice (D 100) you must get an '86' or greater for these cultists to be reasonable, yet still Hell-bound, Caucasians. [a dice free alternative would be a number of questions determined by the HP(Head Pastor) of which the PC(Mordecai as played by Malachai) must answer]

<Malachai rolls 50% or does not answer the required percentage of questions and the HP must now roll a D20 and consult the "inferior races" table (or simply choose the appropriate minority from the table when playing dice free)>

<The HP rolls a '6' (or chooses) Negroid from the list. He then rolls another D20 on the "shuckin' and jivin'" table and reads the following entry>

Head Pastor: The two cultists step back from your door with big toothy grins on their faces. Suddenly, they run off in two different directions...Make a 'racial perception' check DC 17!

Mordecai(played by Malachai): Oh, man...I should have known. I want to use my 'Wise as serpents, Harmless as Doves' daily power.

Head Pastor: I'll allow it.. that adds a +2 to your 'racial perception' check, but the Difficulty remains at 17

<Malachai rolls a '1' on the D20 or fails to answer a single Bible question, this is called a critical failure or fumble and results in dire consequences for the player>

Mordecai(played by Malachai): Rats!

<The Head Pastor consults the critical failure table and reads the following>

Head Pastor: While you were distracted by the two jigaboos at the front door, a third, yet unseen buck creeped up and stole (1 D4) pies that were cooling outside your window. What do you do?

Mordecai(played by Malachai): I think I'll go beat my wife for leaving the pies unguarded and having me answer the door in the first place..

...and that is only a small sample of the hours of good, clean fun that you and your family could have...once you read the Player's Guide, Head Pastor's Manual, and Sinner's Gazetteer! I just can't wait until the game gets a national release.

[Brother-Jon]

Re: A Christian alternative to "Dungeons and Dragons"?

If the devil can use "Dungeons and Dragons" to lure people into the occult, couldn't GOD use "Saviors and Sinners" to lure people into glory?

I was simply referencing Bob4God's use of the name.
I am glad to see you are way ahead of me!
Of course, I should have assumed already that LBC, being obviously Divinely Directed by The Savior, would have been on top of this from the get-go!

I have several greasy-faced, four-eyed, game-addicted, over-masturbatory students in my classes I have long suspected worship satan with this evil manipulative masquerade for sorcery.
I am sure they are fags together as well.
I understand oftentimes dungeons and dragons leads to gay orgies.
Are there any materials available for me to pass on to these youth at my church who I fear are in danger?

Don't be obtuse.

Discipline and savage beatings are two different things.

Now please go to the Introduction forum and introduce yourself.

Re: A Christian alternative to "Dungeons and Dragons"?

Thank you for the clarification. I was not trying to flame hence the reason I quoted the prior post. I have not previously been exposed to Christian theology/teaching (not sure of proper word) that contains any sort of physical discipline of a spouse. Maybe that is not correct, I have read and do read the Bible, but other churches do not believe the same as you do.

Most churches do not follow the whole Bible. We do, and we make no apologies about it.

Believe it or not, some "churches" allow (or even encourage):

- women to talk in church (1 Corinthians 14:34)

- mixed-race couples (Acts 17:26)

- queer marriages (Leviticus 18:22)

Etc. etc.

It's this complete and utter disregard of God's Word that has us in the situation we are in today.



Yours in Christ,

Re: A Christian alternative to "Dungeons and Dragons"?

Hey everyone. I'm going to assume this thread is dead but on the off chance anyone is actually interested, there is an established Christian alternative to Dungeons and Dragons called DragonRaid.

The setting puts the "TwiceBown" heroes up against the evils of Satan in the form of monsters but also emphasizes conversion of the unbelieving, increasing your own faith the more you share it.
I haven't played it myself but I do have a copy of the rules. Instead of calling upon magic, the TwiceBorn have the option to pray for a miracle and recite a passage or two from the Bible. It even discourages fighting between players and actively curbs them from wandering away from the path ahead.


The one in charge of the proceedings is encouraged to be a pastor or some other leader of Bible studies or maybe a Youth Group leader.
Unfortunately it does use dice, but I'm sure there is another way to randomize outcomes for players. Maybe pick numbers out of a hat?


Anyways, hope that helps. I'm all about teaching kids unique memorization techniques while also being creative.
