Heh, scratch out D&D and put in "WoW" or "Everquest" and it'd probably be more accurate.
For a long while D+D was associated with the occult. Oddly enough by some of the most proficient role players in the world.
So there are more people playing WoW pen&paper or EverQuest pen&paper than D&D?
Why does it have to be pen/paper?
I'm just talking about the pure amount of emotional investment in your 'character'. I personally have never seen the kind of investment into people's D&D character that I see in WoW or Everquest.
Well, since the comic is about pen&paper D&D..
Re: emotional investment, if one would play one's p&p character as much as one's mmo character (which, outside of pure and strict rp-servers, are never really roleplayed) I think you'd see that same emotional involvement. Also, it should be stronger since you interact directly with people instead of through a digital medium.
Yeah, but also the pen & paper D&D is about social interaction, and well, the DM has ultimate control. I've really never seen anybody get their character terminated beyond recall. But, maybe I just wasn't hardcore enough.

I had an elf shadow dancer who died 5 or 6 times, 4 of those times happened during 1 session. He started out as a sun elf, died, got reincarnated as a wood elf, died, got reincarnated as a sparrow and shape-shifted to an elf and so on and so on.
His fortitude save was, shall we say, a little on the low end of the scale. His reflex save was incredible, though.
The comic, and this thread in particular seemed to be focused on the EVIL aspect of d+d - which stems from the 80's hullabaloo about it. The Christians thought that it was turning the youth away from church and to the occult.
I know that. I was well alive, and playing D&D during the 'D&D is the satan' years.

amusing... D&D vs religion .... both sides of one coin IMHO.
One doesn't look for funny in a Chick tract, or at least not any intentional funny.
Are there still people on the interweb that don't know what Jack Chick is all about?
Doesn't bringing a Chick Tract into a thread automatically make it a (cookoo for cocoa puffs) religious topic?
Some folks just have weak net-fu.
Hm, I didn't even recognize that "Chick" was anything.
