Everyone has heard of the Dungeons and Dragons issue back in the 80's (maybe earlier?)

Does the bible speak poorly of such things? Would this be one of the things spoken of that enable others to sin?

Is it Dungeons and Dragons in general, specific? Would other games that involve things that are unGodly be wrong, or dangerous? Like games that are based on Vampires? Demons?

How about if you play a game of D+D and don't have multiple Gods? (An issue if you  believe in one God alone.)

Magic users? Sorcerers? Witches?

Is Dungeons and Dragons wrong, but if you play it Lord of the Ring style, is it now ok?

pre-80s I wasn't alive :(

That whole issue was a lot of hogwash exacerbated by people who never even picked up the rulebooks.  As with any medium of expression, it can be good or bad depending on how it is used, but is not innately either itself.

I'm with Heath.  The old MADD (Mothers against Dungeons and Dragons) was (an amusing) crock.  Their statistics were whacked, their understanding poor, their research rigged.  HOWEVER, it's a *GREAT* read on those boring Wednesday afternoons.  Paulos, I highly recommend it.  My biggest complaint is that Dobson also got on the bandwagon briefly, and generally I really respect his opinion.  But hey, no one's perfect.

The bible does say not to dwell on sinful thoughts.  Of course, if your game is about excessive violence, or you actually incorporate praying to gods (and I've never seen anyone do more than 'I ask my god for these spells...' or 'by Odin's hammer!' kinda stuff), then yeah, you've crossed the line.  But I think you can make a much stronger case against prime time TV than against roleplaying games, and I don't see a lot of hard core Christians throwing out their TVs (I did, but for different reasons).
