Dungeons & Dragons: Adventure or Abomination?
The 700 Club's Anti-RPG Pamphlet - Pages 5-6
Notes and corrections
Page 5"The game tells you to make your own weaponry." -
Dungeons & Dragons
does not "tell" anyone to make real-world weapons, nor does it provide
instructions for doing so. All weapons are imaginary and used against
imaginary opponents. This is identical to the way the game handles
spellcasting - there are no real spells, no real instructions on how to
cast them, and no real-world effects whatsoever. This is a myth that
D&D opponents consistently restate.
...she filed suit against the school principal, the two teachers, and TSR. All suits were dismissed. - What CBN seems to offer as evidence of a cover-up is actually a very clear picture of how ridiculous Pulling's claims about
D&D were.
Page 6"Sulfur and garlic are used to conjure up demons."
- While no source is given on how we should know that these are actual
demon-summoning materials, note carefully that Dempsey doesn't mention
finding any sulfur and/or garlic in his son's room, only that he
smelled them. The odors he encountered may have come from a firearm
being discharged in an enclosed area.
