Hey everyone. I'm going to assume this thread is dead

No worries dear, we love Resurrections around here! Your game sounds pretty fun, how does one slay homosexuals and feminazis?

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.

This sounds very dangerous.


On the mythical world of EdenAgain, players meet challenges that parallel real life. The imagined dangers compel them to grapple with conflicting values, discover how faith in Christ can shape behavior, and reflect on what is really worth living and dying for.

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

Good question.
Assuming you are counting homosexuals and feminazis as "dark creatures" and not the unfortunately led astray "DragonSlaves" It is very easy for one to slay them.


One would simply declare they wish to attack the monster, roll a dice (or in this case pick a number from a hat) and add that number to the number assigned to your weapon of choice, like a sword. The monster does the same, and whoever ends up with the higher number wins that round of combat and begins to defeat the other. The idea of slaying heathens in the name of God should be more than enough to warrant some interest. I know it is for me, at least.
Simple as that!

Well, um... where is Prayer? Why would a monster get a higher point than an Ambassador of Christ? That doesn't make sense to me. It's like saying a homosexual could, if he made the right choices and had some good luck, enjoy a long, rewarding life in the loving company of family and friends. And we know that's not true. Homosexuals are desperately bitter, full of disease, smell of feces, and insane.

Miss Ligure,

Have you ever considered playing a game that does not contain the slaying of heathens and your fellow sinners but spreading the Good Message of Jesus? Are you perhaps familiar with the Road-map to Life that is called the Bible. It tells us that you can gain more experience points and kudos by alternative actions instead of blind rampaging massacre.

James 5:20
Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

In fact, God Himself tells us what is the weapon of choice to wield!

Psalms 19:7
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

The Law and the Testimony are contained within the Bible. Why don't you find a game like that? Or - even better - why not discard the silly and stupid games and abandon your gaming cave with its stench of unwashed garments, pizza boxes and sebaceous gland excretions, go to the Mall and do some actual preaching?


Yours in Christ,

Elmer

You see, prayer is mostly used for conversion of DragonSlaves as well as strengthening one's one faith. Prayer is not for slaying, which is what you asked about previously.


Also, in combat you as a righteous warrior of God equipped with the Sword of the Spirit always have bigger bonuses as well as the chance to pick anywhere from a 1 to 10 out of the hat while your adversary only has the option of getting a 1 to an 8 in their hat. This makes it very difficult for them to even land a blow on you, especially since you are also equipped with the armor of God as spoken about in Ephesians 6:10-18.


We are not perfect, Ms. Etheldreda, it is possible for one of our brothers and sisters to be led to thinking people who don't follow the LORD might not be tools of the devil.
That's why games like DragonRaid exist, to keep us away from satanic influences while exercising our faith in Christ. If you decide that the very idea of a Christian D&D offends you, I would take it up with Bob4God, the original poster of this thread.

I would suggest maybe discussing that with Ms. Etheldreda, considering she was the one who asked how one "slays" homosexuals and feminazis.

Dear sinner,

Why are you trying to avoid responsibility for your thoughts and actions? We are all well aware of the thoughts and actions of our fellow True Christian™ Brethren and Sisters [such as Mr. Bob (Mr. for you, too) and Mrs. (not Ms.) Etheldreda]. However, we are not familiar with you. As for us, we don't have thoughts of our own but we simply follow God's Commands (Ecclesiastes 12:13). That is the prudent way to take, as He sees everything!

Job 34:21
For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.

Looking forward to your actual replies instead of hiding behind the words of your superiors.


Yours in Christ,

Elmer

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

I apologize Prof. White, is there any statement I have made here that I should not stand behind? Should we not hope to see the world rid of those who outwardly reject Jesus' love and mercy? Deuteronomy 13:10

Isn't this all about a game? I was urging you to do some actual proselytizing to gain more actual soldiers for Christ! We do all this for the Love of our fellow human beings who wallow in the disgusting state of sin (including emancipation, sodomy, evolution, etc.). Are the imaginary things of video games really more important than the real, omnipresent Jesus Christ and the historical accounts of the Flood and Balaam's Ass in the Bible?

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.

If you wish to do some actual, RL smiting of sinners, you should also remember these words by God.

Romans 13:1
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

We admit that the secular law often contradicts Jesus's Will but we should strive to change these humane but blasphemous laws (and that will take place very soon with President Trump) while obeying them until we get there. Your heart seems to be in the right place, though, and with adequate incessant Bible Study and Prayer (1 Thessalonians 5:17) you may one day reach Heaven!


Yours in Christ,

Elmer

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

I completely agree Prof. White!
In my original post concerning DragonRaid I mentioned that it is a unique and creative way to encourage the children of our congregations to memorize their Bible passages so they might be even better equipped to witness to the masses of those who still need the love of God in their hearts. Proverbs 22:6
The game is simply a tool originally used for the devil but turned towards the Light of Faith in order to spread his message.

As a vocational pedagogist (I home educate my children using naught but the world and the Word), I know that children learn through play. Little girls learn about nurture by playing with dolls. Little boys learn about provision and protection by playing Christians and Muslims (a modern variation of cops and robbers). This is why it's so important to keep them separated from the unsaved, lest they pick up their ways (1st Corinthians 10:20). Likewise, children learn to rebuke Satan in their play. We know prayer is a mighty slayer of demons for real, so why would you introduce a game that suggests prayer is useless?

You make the Armor of God to be spiritual equivalent to that of an armor of Duct Tape. You make it sound as if the Holy Bible cannot be trusted! Why do you think Jesus said that whoever is born of God does not sin, that Satan cannot tempt nor touch him (1 John 5:18) if He didn't really mean it? Why do you think the Holy Bible teaches us that he who is Born Again does not, nay cannot commit sin (1 John 3:5-9) if that's not true? By whose authority do you accuse Christ Jesus of being a Big, Fat, Liar, misleading Christians for thousands of years to sew confusion and division?

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

As a True Christian, I expect to be provided a wholesome alternative to everything that offends me so I can still enjoy it without offending CHRIST.

I have my own Christian movie collection (I just bought another copy of "Fireproof" as Mrs. Fore wore out the previous one!), I have my Christian music collection, and my Christian book collection. I also have a Christian board game collection that includes such titles as "Bibleopoly" and "Journey to Canaan." (Such fun!)

I was reading my Chick tracts the other day when I found an old copy of the one dear Mr. Chick wrote about the role-playing board game "Dungeons and Dragons." I became even more outraged than usual when I realized that we have no Christian alternative to this hellish game!

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?

In "Saviors and Sinners" you could create your own evangelist character that moves around the board saving as many souls as he can. He could have special skills like Hellfire Sermonizing to reach especially vile sinners, throwing skills to stone unrepentent homosexuals, and detect mix fabrics, to tell if anybody nearby is wearing mixed fabrics. (Deut. 22:11)

I think this kind of game would really appeal to the kids and get them excited for CHRIST! Who can we boycott/petition to get this game made?

1. You can make a christian home brew for D&D, where you can work for god and take down satan or something like that.
2. This could theoretically work, but you would need to make stats to do things like agility and make monsters, which is why i would stick with 1. as alot of things are already premade, but you can make your own story and creatures, and if you DM, let your players be free. Give them a goal, but let them explore.

What is this gibberish? If it is some kind of witch's spell, the joke is on you. We here are armored by God against such devilish tricks and these words will have no effect.

Whats so wrong about it? You can play as a paladin whos powers literally come from god. Im just presenting an easier alternative.
