Fails the "everything I need to play should be in this book, or derivable from it" simplicity test for me, I'm afraid.<br /><br />That said, if Dragonraid is mechanically sound it *could* be good for an allegorical(ish) "Pilgrim's Progress"/"Paradise Lost" saga of loss, struggle and redemption. It's not like there's not precedent in the hobby for plundering these tropes for our own twisted ends. ;)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04072272223837426211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172185396932439661.post-49570168508250282982009-05-04T19:52:00.000-04:002009-05-04T19:52:00.000-04:00I'd love to hear more about this one.

Unfortunately, the idea that you can trick, scare, or otherwise coerce people into following Christ has been around for thousands of years and many Christians still haven't figured out that these methods stand in stark contrast to those of the Christ we claim to emulate.<br /><br />Thank you for your non-hostile approach to Christians, and please keep posting about this game. I doubt it will happen, but I'd love to hear that this game isn't as fundamentally wrong as it sounds based on your observations.theoutsyder83https://www.blogger.com/profile/06498206412285063607noreply@blogger.com
