There's a story of Brigham (I believe) confiscating "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" from his son because he felt it was evil/trash.

But then he stayed up all night, read it, and gave it back to his son in the morning.

It is not so much what one encounters on their journey as what they do with it and who they choose to do it with.

I'm not sure that was Brigham but I could be wrong. 20,000 Leagues under the Sea was published in 1870. Brigham Young died 7 years later. Unless he was taking it away from an adult son...I am thinking it was not him.

What version?

I am DM for ver 3.5.

Interestingly they pick two D&D players for new moderators here!

I guess we need to add that question to the application process.

I've played 3.0 and have the players handbook for it but with the 3.5 SRD online I suppose I have access to everything I need to play 3.5. Though I'd probably need some hand holding, I've only actually played 3.5 rules in PC games, and have never used the minis for combat more than once.

lolD&D


I kid


I think people are for the most part smart enough to know better than to try to cast spells or do other magically things. What is great about the genre is the 'what if' factor. Anything that helps the imagination soar is a good thing IMHO.

Line upon line, precept upon precept and principle upon principle, here a little and there a little. We are all at different levels. Surely Halloween and Harry Potter are ok and as for rock and "that kind of stuff" it's up to you. It's up to all of us and what we do and how we live to help us draw closer to the spirit and hopefully as we grow we can mature in the gospel.
