Today comes with another warning. This time it pertains to the occult and specifically with the fantasy role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons. This is the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons which was birthed in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. It was the first widely-old fantasy role-playing game. According to its publisher, Wizards of the Coast, it has been played by 50 million people around the world.
This weekend they are celebrating with the Dragon Days Fantasy Festival at multiple sites in downtown Lake Geneva. This past Sunday, September 22nd, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel featured their entire front page to Dungeons & Dragons, and there were multiple pages inside the Sunday edition also devoted to it. One of the articles they wrote indicated that Dungeons & Dragons is more influential now than ever before.
So what exactly is Dungeons & Dragons? Are there occultic connections to this game? And what are the concerns for Christians participating in Dungeons & Dragons?
