Hmmm well my religious friend plays dnd all the time.
Via the board game I have played it in dos heck its why I played entombed.
On the other side there are actual education al games that encourage to do what it says and thats perfectly ok. I am not really into magic like harry potter and such doesn't mean I didn't read the entire series once and enjoy it for what it was though I mostly read universe crossovers being a scifi game nut always liked one universe versing another for whatever reason.
Obviously these games have an age limit you should be allowed to play them.
That doesn't help if an older brother leaves his clearly adult books or games unprotected and within reach of his 5 year old sister. Those laws only apply if you are buying if you have the stuff its your own problem. Not to mention online places where you have to put your age you can easily fake it and the list goes on. I have friends that enjoy hacking people to death, they would never do it in real life though.

There are a few games out there that have ben taken to life. Last year this one made national news. A 12 year old crawled out of the woods to the road stabbed over 15 times. When asked she stated her friends did it because they were playing a game and they had to do it. Now another popular game in college is D&d witch has ben band for causing deaths. its not funny when some people think what they see on TV or books become a force to kill and reality is fantasy and fantasy is reality.

I have a close friend who shares that view. This is ironic because she loves Harry Potter and Alter Aeon. Her reasoning is because apparently there have occasionally been instances where people have killed or committed suicide over the game.

@Jody, D&D evil?

I'm a tad confused, sinse the dungeons and dragons I know is a tabletop rp
game, and how evil it is depends upon your gm, though usually most decent
gms wouldn't really condone a game where you were playing out and out evil
characters and would smack you with nasty in game penalties if you ever
commited any senseless crimes or whatever, sinse it's their job to create
the realistic world the game happens in.

I have heard some religious zealots say D&D is evil simply because it
involves magic, wizards, dragons and such, the same way some religious
zealots say Harry Potter is evil, but such opinions are based on a religious
mindset and system of beliefs that (even though I was bought up in the
Christian tradition myself), I find so utterly bizarre I have difficulty
making sense of.

Beware the grue!

Dark.
