yet another OT: D and D is gangsta!
I saw this on my local newspaper.
http://www.insidebayarea.com/weird-news/ci_14265020 So basically officials at a Wisconsin prison banned playing Dungeons and Dragons over concerns that it promotes gang activity.

What a total crock of shite!
Reminds me of that radical group of estremeist christians back in the 80's who wanted to ban RPGs without even one of them so much as once looking at the material! On the other hand, the man is a convicted murderer and the game does tend to revolve around killing....

If he really wanted to the guy could just write his own RPG and play that. I suppose the prison auhorities could try to ban role playing gaming altogether but it would be more difficult than just confiscating books, dice and other gaming material.

I imagine he's in there for a while so provided he can get enough pens and paper, it's certainly doable...
Still, refusing a prisoner the right to play an RPG seems like a VERY cruel and unusual punishment to me! Could any of us survive without our fix?

It's been about 2 months since my last face to face. Life is nearly unbearable!
