“What’s a pantheon?” Dude is so sheltered he literally can’t wrap his head around the Greek gods, one of the more famous pantheons.

Even being a Christian myself, I still find it really confusing and gross that my fellow Christians can really believe that they're being disrespected by the mere act of acknowledging that other people and beliefs exist if that acknowledgment isn't also followed up with a statement that those people and their beliefs are ontologically evil.

Should anyone ever run into a "Kenneth", here is a tip from a ordained Christian minister, who has played every edition of D&D since Basic, starting in 1977. First, ask them to recite the 1st Commandment. "I am the Lord, Thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before Me!" Note: this statement DOES NOT deny the existence of other gods. Second, ask them to repeat the words Christ spoke to the Heavens, upon the cross. "God, my God, God of gods! Why hast Thou forsaken Me?" From the mouth of Christ Himself, an admission that other gods DO exist. The belief that the God of Hebrew, Christian, and Muslim Scriptures is the ONLY deity in existence IS NOT promoted or supported by scriptural text. The actual Scriptures state that He is the supreme deity, not the only one. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. 🤠👍

the guy who wanted all his stats to auto increase wanted a video game

Imagine if it turns out Kenneth's campaign is super Book of Revelation vibes, just metal album cover levels of blood and carnage *P U R I F I E D*

I’m Catholic myself and it frustrates me to no end when Christians can’t separate a game from their beliefs. It’s really cringe and is basically the whole reason for the Satanic Panic in the 80s. Edit: I realize that it’s cringy but thanks for the likes!

What's ironic is that Tolkien was about as medieval and traditional a Christian can get, and he basically invented the fantasy genre that D&D is founded on.

13:42 To give Carrie some credit, it took months of abuse culminating with the most cruel prank and ensuing public humiliation to make her snap. Mary Sue here just did it whenever she wasn't the focus of the entire server for more than ten seconds.

“Well I didn’t know it worked like that…” Yeah, that’s why people KEPT TELLING YOU TO READ THE RULEBOOK! Ignorance isn’t an excuse when it’s done intentionally.

Counterpoint to the first story. Our party did exactly the same thing in my DM Dan's game, snatching a crystal while it was being flown to the bad guys base via an Airship. The party sorcerer used flight and invisibility to reach the airship and scout it then teleported us aboard and the DM called the session Next week he came back with an epic battle for us against the ship captain and crew that ended with us not only taking the crystal but capturing the airship too (Initiating a few "We must be on Disk 4 now" jokes). Just want to shout out Dan for being such an awesome DM if he reads this because he'd never imagined we'd attempt this or planned for it before that point

As a GM for a one shot intended to last only two or three sessions, I had a player ask to be a techno-plaladin of the "one true God". I said "which one?" and he didn't get it. I ended up letting him play, and everyone had fun at his expense. He did learn after a while.

Kenneth's head would explode if he ever ran into my games. "Yeah, the gods don't exist, but most people think they do."

Love the irony of the first post. Doesn't care about the rules of D&D because he thinks they make his character too weak, in reality his character is too weak BECAUSE he's not following the rules 🤣👍

Intro story: One important thing all DMs need to know-the players aren’t always going to do what you planned. As a DM, you need to be capable of adapting on the fly to what your players do. Of course, there are cases where you need to put your foot down and give them a hard no, but this wasn’t one of those cases. First story: If you don’t want D&D to have rules, you don’t want to play D&D. You just want to play pretend. There’s nothing wrong with that, but you shouldn’t get snotty at people who actually do want to play D&D. How hard is it to just be nice? Second story: It sounds like that problem player watched Blazing Saddles too many times. Threatening your own character to get what you want only works if your DM is a background character in a Mel Brooks movie. Third story: Yeesh, Susan sounds like a nightmare to play with. I don’t know why anyone stayed in that server with her for as long as they did, but at least there was a happy ending! Fourth story: What. The. Fuck. I really thought the RPG community had gotten over the “the existence of fantasy gods is satanic” phase by now. People like Kenneth, who try to force their religion on others, are complete and utter assholes.

The second story seems to star the typical "Videogame minded" characters. They don't want to have to strategize or care about their characters, just give them the cool powers and make bigger numbers pop out of the monsters when they hit them already.

At 4:40 I busted a brain cell cuz there was a player trying to force us to change rules and whining that he would be happier if we just let him bend rules so that he could just power play and be a cartoon character that was all powerful. When I told him we don’t play that way and If he wanted to play that way with his friends (his argument was he plays that way with them so we should too) then he can keep doing that but we won’t change the way we play. He even said ‘yunno SOME people play dnd differently than you, so you should really consider that’ I flaked his ass out of the chat for real in front of the homies

I did have a moment where I told a player "no" on a thing he wanted to do, I think it involved fire, I don't remember exactly, but I do remember declaring "And the sky opens up, a hand comes down and picks up (character) and with a booming voice full of divine power says "Ň̷̛͔͔͚̩̣͚̓̆̆Ỏ̷̯́̈́" before carefully setting them back down."

The video title reminded me of a short game I played with friends. They were preacher's sons, so they wouldn't touch DnD, but other RPGs were fine, ironically. Anyway, one of them found what was basically a rules light DnD system that was a Christian teaching aide. I don't remember much about it, but the way you cast prayers (spells) was to recite specific bible verses that you, the player, were supposed to memorize. Overall it was harmless but a bit silly. There were no real stats or classes as I recall as it was just a little booklet.

As a Christian... bruh. Come on man. Kenneth, my guy. Please.

There was a girl in my highschool that wasn't allowed to open the windows or the door on Halloween. They had to close all the curtains and hide inside all day and night, because their parents were convinced evil spirits roamed the land that day and they could get in. Felt bad for her.

Mage is my favorite WoD game. Like it's my jam... and they can be very, very powerful... but when they fuck up, they fuck up *hard* That Character sounds like a marauder (a mage whose magic has basically driven them insane), which no sane GM would ever allow. They are so ridiculously powerful that reality will eventually just boot them. I used to larp with a group of kids like Kenneth. They mostly just played fighter types, but there was one kid who played healer, and he ended every one of his spells with "in Jesus's name. They actually decided to go against helpful NPCs because they made a small reference to other gods in a flavor story post before an event.

As someone who runs a Vampire-campaign and has some knowledge on the wider WoD-lore, that World of Darkness-story hurt. Like, that werewolf-character was tame but the Mage and Vampire would've been dead within seconds were it any other Story Teller. Even with me, and I'm very lenient and normally give 2 or 3 chances to fuck up.

I'd love to see the look on Kenneth's face if he was in my Theros or Amonkhet campaigns. Not only cuz they have a pantheon but they don't take kindly to dissenters, his character will get a hefty bowl of Smiting or exiled into a desert full of ravenous mummies faster than he can say "Theres are not true gods"

I have a funny story as a contrast to that introduction! I was running a homebrew module set in a world of humanoid insects, and the party was supposed to investigate a cult settlement. Now, in the module, the party either makes it across the settlement and sees a thing happening via stealth, or they fight an army of necromancer flies and their zombie minions, get their butts kicked, and have to be rescued by an NPC. The party took a third option - they convinced the algae and giant crabs in the lake/swamp surrounding the settlement to attack as a distraction while they investigated things. I couldn't not let them do that, so I moved the NPC encounter to a different location and let them do that. The NPC turned out to be utterly beloved by the party and is currently dating the cleric.

I played in a 5e D&D game where the DM refused to let anyone play a warlock because that would be unchristian. I didn't realize this when I started playing as my initial character was a bard, but that character had an opportunity to open his own lavish theater, and so I decided he wouldn't pass that up and thus he "retired" and I needed a new character. As I had never played a warlock, I wanted to try that, and that's when the DM told me his houserule. I asked to play a fey-pact warlock, but no dice (but clerics of other gods and arcane casters were okay). I am still not sure why only warlocks were too satanic for the game.

If you’re going to multiclass with Monk, how about taking a few levels in Barbarian? I’ve been theory crafting a character who’s a bit like Hoarah Loux, except he prefers bears instead of lions. I call him Ursius Groon: Warrior! Mostly Way of the Open Hand, with a few levels in Bear Totem. I really wish there was a Way of the Grizzly Bear…

Exalted is a awesome game and i hope people don't get the wrong idea about it from this

I'm a born again Christian, understanding what is reality and what is fantasy is a must. I get it from both sides. I got people from one side saying that it's evil incarnate and I got people from the other side saying I'm too much of a zealot. Dude, I just want to play some DnD5e and have some good escapism let me beeee

the only thing I can think of more fun than running session I had planned to be a heist would be the heist turning into a train robbery!

A player left our Star Wars group the other day because he found out that two of the players weren't straight, he started sending the religious DM bible verses, insisting his hatred of non-straight people was justified because of the bible. Thankfully while the DM is a straight and religious person, he's not hateful, and so he said if he wasn't gonna be able to play nice, and apologize for all the homophobia, he had to go, he STILL refused, saying he was in the right because it said so in the bible, and now the dude's gone >_

Being unable to separate real life and fantasy can be really dangerous. We use our imagination for so many thing, from daydreaming to interior design to hypotheses. And I can see how this "pure" DM might run into problems for his game, considering he's a GM and so... fundamentalist in his beliefs. I mean, why is he carrying out Satan's will by acting out the bad guys in his game?

"My spells should just get stronger without having to use higher level spell slots!" "That's called 'Third Edition'."

"We're not seeing someone who's trying to ensure safety or comfortability at the table." Yes we are. Kenneth is trying to make the game safe and comfortable for Kenneth. Who's everyone else? Oh they don't matter.

"Attack the mist" and "crossbow." Huh. Lacks Gazebo. (I wonder, do kids these days still know "Knights of the Dinner Table"? 😁)

To be fair, Sleep is a spell which should be abandoned past lvl 3 if you want to play optimally. Then again, it is useful utility to have periodically.

The opener made me think of the time I planned a prison break for my players, assuming they would get themselves arrested. As it turns out they were more than willing to take hush money from a corrupt city council and not be arrested. All except 1 PC. So the prison escape became a prison rescue lol

You know when I clicked on this, I was really kinda hoping I'd hear about what a Purified DnD game would be like. It's really fascinating. Ah well.

Oh man. Susan getting what she deserved was so satisfying.

So the person who wanted the 'Rules Light' stuff, they just want how 3.5/Pathfinder 1e works with Abilty DCs, Spells and other class based things upgrading as you gained more levels in that class or classes that let you stack them together. Though they probably would have disliked all yhe other rules there regardless.

That last story The guy sounds like someone you who would shove their beliefs down the throats of other people.

For reference if you want to play a game with multiple White Wolf monsters (werewolves, mages, vampires etc) *Chronicles* of Darkness works better then World of Darkness. I'm currently in a Chronicles game with a changeling, werewolf and mage all working together and it's been extremely fun so far. The abilities and power scales better between the different games in CoD and I recommend it to anyone who wants to give that kind of game a go.

Damn son, Animism sounds really really cool.

There's actually a TTRPG for Christians called Dragonsraid.

The thing that strikes me with Kenneth The Pure Christian is that he doesn't seem to comprehend that there's a difference between BELIEVING in something yourself, knowing that other people believe in it, or even just... like... abstractly being aware of fictional characters that are gods in the context of fictional universes. People don't BELIEVE in Exalted's rendition of the Unconquered Sun as an actual extant divinity any more than they believe Superman exists and should be worshipped.

21:50 Fun fact, there is actually a biblical adventures book for D&D 3.5 and it's actually really good. I don't know how happy it would make Christians, as you can be a Canaanite or Egyptian.

In a genre of game where imagination is key, dude put up a “JEWS NEED NOT APPLY” sign on himself

Intro story (Bank Heist): I don't think I would have played with the DM after that. If he's going to be spiteful about it, then better off not playing with him. "Rules are for Nerds": ...seriously? DnD has always been one of the more crunch-heavy games in TTRPGs, and this guy isn't going to bother learning them, why is he even playing them? "Guess I'll Die": Yeah, standard murderhobo BS. The GM made it clear he tried to talk the guy before. Problem player didn't listen, so the trash took itself out. Mary Sue: Yeah, standard Storyteller's GF who got a little too free with her power fantasies and then had to face the music when her protector/BF dropped out. All you can do is either hope the ST/GM sees reason and tells her to cut it out, drops her, or get a new GM (or drop the campaign, because it will obviously never improve). Purified D&D: Yeah, can't say much beyond what Crispy said here. Kenneth can run his own games as he wants, he can't force his opinions on other people.

Wow. Crispy said that D&D was not the perfect game. That's something I've never heard before and never thought I would.

Just gotta say: The orange/teal lighting is my favorite.

I was gonna make a joke about Kenneth being in cope-land… then he went full neo-Nazi and admitted to banning Jews from his games. Wow.

Oof, the Susan from the second story is literally the same as cheaters in multiplayer video games. A disruptive cheater no one bans because she's DM's favorite. I'm really glad they both left that game - the world and its mechanics look really cool, and it really sucks to see good games being destroyed by cheaters' toxicity and corrupted admins.

i know a D&D loving german pastor (his all time fave race are orcs. as a orc lover myself,this pleases me) that would likely think that guy was stupid or at least way out of line if i were to tell him the "purified D&D" story. interesting enough,though we actually talked a bit about creating our own bible-based D&D (one that isn't lame) that factors in a sort of morality meter where some critical choices can lead to one thing or another (example: say you come upon a bandit on the side of the road that looks wounded and instead of helping him you decide to kill him and take his loot. you have the option to do it and even get away with it but that act adds a certain number of points to the bad side of your morality meter and so later on you come across a demon but instead of wanting to fight you,the demon decides that you have enough bad morality points to make a deal but doesn't tell you that if you accept the deal,you'll then be cursed with some harmful side effect such as now your body will fill as if it's covered in flame at all times and that will affect your heath if you don't routinely tend to it and this will also affect your ability to fight. all because you killed someone rather than show mercy and made a deal with a impressed but still untrustworthy demon) while taking bits and pieces from the bible and christain lore as a whole (no set timeline or anything,though. don't want it to get confusing or too restrictive). sadly,he's kind of too busy doing pastor stuff for us to really do anything with the idea but i think it would be a nice change from "everyone is a murder hobo and the bard can't keep it in his pants". oh well.

Kenneth: "Other religions existing is disrespectful to me personally"

i once played with someone who gave their character this whole lengthy backstory about how they were the heir to a prestigious clan of magic-users who were of a rare species that had a natural gift for being able to more freely manipulate magical energy and produce more powerful spells and how they had gone through special training and education to be the best mage ever but after a catastrophic event that wiped out most of their species and their whole family, they went on to become... a prostitute? for some reason? their whole story is about how they're one of the best magicians of all time so you'd think they'd be a scholar or a teacher or at least a monster hunter or something, i never understood why they insisted on having their character be a prostitute..... (they also never once actually used magic during the 3 of 4 sessions we had together because they didn't want to learn the rules to pathfinder and never wrote down what spells they were meant to have, idk what their deal was)

He was probably running DnD for people who went to his church. That's my theory.

XD love the explanation of Exalted. I loved playing my Sidereal with a scythe, having the white reaper style. It took a hell of a lot of convincing from my character to the person that eventually trained her, but was well worth it. Also, Purified DnD.

Susan: I can do whatever I want because I’m boinking the head GM! Head GM: *leaves* Lieutenants: *Grinch smile*

"RULES ARE FOR NERDS!" Says the D&D player who doesn't even know how to play 😑

Feels odd to be early

Funnily enough I was kinda the antithesis of Kenneth for a while, using ttrpgs to work through my religious trauma. One of my first long running characters turned out to be a mysotheist because he was turned into a vampire and consequently damned to hell before his home country was Christianized. It made someone jumping into the middle of the campaign with a sleazy televangelist... interesting.

I think the opening one is kinda understandable. Its a new dm thing going "I planned for this, and I put the enemies here. I cant just MOVE the enemies, even if the players havent seen them, I put them there already!" As you mature in dming you realize that anything the players havent seen firsthand is subject to change. Even 2nd hand accounts are subject to change as you can just go "oh well the npc misremembered", IF the party even recalls those accounts.

Intro story: It's one thing to complain about not liking the rules - you can always change them if your group agrees. But it's another thing to complain about something not working when the framework ALLOWS YOU to do exactly what you are saying you want to do, and you're not using the framework. Feels like buying a manual transmission car and complaining that the car doesn't go any faster than 20-30 mph when you don't know how to shift out of first, THEN complaining that you shouldn't have to manually shift when you could have bought an automatic and then you wouldn't have had to. The framework exists for doing exactly what you want to do. Use the framework.

God I miss Old WOD Java Chat games. Where the game was a city, and you had all the diff games crossing over. (Man I'm old)

I know quite a bit about the WoD setting and I think I would take a kind of dark pleasure tearing apart that city with a bunch of other players by playing antagonistic factions. Set up a full blown Sabbat raid on the city, have an entire pack of Werewolves walk the black spiral and become black spiral dancers, organise an entire nephandi cult to wreck the Mages setups or better yet a crew of marauders outright tearing up the Consensus!

I used to know someone exactly like Kenneth. But instead of barring non-Christians from his games he would remind any non-Christians he knew that they were going to Hell whenever he saw them.

Against the poster of the WoD Play-by-Post, Classic WoD CAN and DOES work together. The issues that arise is the fact that each 'game' has a different unique 'system' based around its lore/style. When proper prep is done and consideration is taken into account, all of the games can work very well together. The issue mostly come from the very chaotic setting that a massive Play-by-Post can become. Also, some books dont 'play well' with others; Werewolf and Vampire can get along while Mage and Hunter fits in with everything. But try and smash Orpheous into other games and the basic idea/style of play for THAT game gets over shadowed or lost. It would be use best as an NPC as opposed to a PC. It CAN work with the right group, but an open ended world story wouldnt do the dynamic justice.

Huh. I wonder if Kevin would have allowed me to play an intellectually complicated advocate of Satan. lol. He'd probably either outright deny the character or try to railroad them. I had a character once that was the classic 'sign a contract with me' kind of fellow. That was a real hoot. He basically used tortured souls as pokemon.

I want Kenneth to read my upcoming book one day, where I have demons and a she-devil inhabiting the sky, and angels only come about as a rebellion against the established order, and create a holy subterranean sanctuary kingdom

I’ve never been this early on a video

Purified D&D: The Irony. The early Christian Schism happened because the heads of the early religious movement argued over the nature of the trinity. Doing a Benny Hill style escapade of excommunicating each other over it. It's heck-a fun reading about how dysfunctional they got. I also love how the guy claimed there was only one god. Then throws Jesus in as a secondary. (Though, to be frank, "Jesus" is slowly replacing the traditional Christian God. It's fascinating to witness an evolution in religious belief in real time.)

(Second Story) I can understand why some people don´t want to read EVERY rule writen on a book because some roleplaying rulebooks can be great doorstoppers, but at least they could try to learn about their character and how to improve it. (Third story) That curse was a interesting way to remove a character from the entire game.

I've had good luck with allowing players to change their spell casting soft stat. So, as an example, a monk that starts grabbing sorcerer levels to get a DBZ feel could just use wisdom in place of charisma. Or a sorcerer taking a monk dip as an expansion of his draconic heritage could just stunning strike and unarmored defense off charisma instead of wisdom. Cuts a bit on the MAD penalty of multi classing.

PURIFY D&D!! Ugh... This poor zealous fool will find himself with a tiny or non existant friend group with that behavior. Having a strong belief in your faith isn't bad. When you belittle, shun, or say other beliefs don't exist you become the monster you claim your belief goes against. People are allowed to believe in different things as long as it doesn't harm anyone. This is a prime example of toxic belief behavior that only pushes others away just for conforming to a single person's views.

Objection! White Wolf did NOT actually encourage crossover play between the various oWoD lines. That's why all the games had stats for the other game lines 'translated' into their own lingo at the back of the books. Rather, it was players who invariably insisted that you could have a crossover game with Vampires, Mages and Werewolves that somehow respected the themes of all three games (spoiler: no, you couldn't). In particular, Mage: the Ascension played poorly with others--Mages were absurdly game-breaking, by design, which didn't sit well with other game fans at all; Mage players who understood their rules could easily design spells meant to cure Vampirism or undo the Garou ability to change shape and connection to the spirit world. The issue wasn't 'could' a Mage do something, but 'should' they do, considering the likely consequences. Whenever White Wolf did try to publish crossover rules, it was invariably a disaster. The best approach was to say, "This is a [X] game. Anything other than an [X] is going to be played using [X] rules." So in a Vampire game, vampirism was incurable, at least by some self-styled wizard. In a Mage game, vampirism is just another thing that the Mage can affect, and the trick was whether or not the Mage in question had the skill and power to pull it off, and was willing to deal with the ramifications. Also, Paradox didn't quite work as the OP said--it was a trinary system, and the number of "Witnesses" doesn't matter, under the rules. One or one thousand, if it's vulgar magic, you get the paradox you get. Oh, and in most of the White Wolf chatrooms I played in, multiple characters were the rule, not the exception, so that part didn't surprise me. However, any crossover between sub-games usually required intense mediation between the STs of the groups involved.

I wanna see the look on anti-rules guy’s face if someone ever asked him to learn an additional system.

For Kenneth I say: “I will send you to erathis” Imagine this said by Steven he’s dad

Reminds me of my own VtM horror story

The funniest thing is, by Kenniths logic, he’s actually breaking one of the 10 Commandments: “Thou shalt not have any other Gods before me, nor shall you bear worship towards any idol” Technically, “Making” God/Jesus in D&D is basically saying ‘I know God better than he knows himself’ which…is also a big no-no, since Kennith is basically saying “I am God”, at least by how the Christian bible describes that commandment, so he only has a Strawman argument 🤣

"gUEss I'Ll dIE" - I fully endorse PVP in this instance. I've had the occasional _threat_ of PVP turn up in the games I've run - generally because one player's having his character act like a real dick in game and the other players decide that their characters wouldn't put up with that shit - so I generally let it play out and, if it had escalated into actual PVP action, I wouldn't have prevented it. Generally, the offending player has been able to read the room and prudently decide to have his character back down. I don't actually recall someone going so far as to continue to be a dick to the point that the other players have had to carry out their (characters') threats.

the only time I accept a hard stance against heresy in a ttrpg is when it's Warhammer 40k

Joe Kerr here. the Kenneth name i choose for him is a reference to Kenneth Coppeland, the extremist tele evangelist

I think the weirdest one is the last guy who is like REALLY strict on belief in 1 God in everything. The one with the lady that has triple main charact-syndrome ho-ho boi! But the one with instagator is my petpeve. I had 2 games with a person like this and it was not fun playing any game with them.

The oWoD story is basically a thing that always happened in the old forum days.

I'll hold off on commenting on the bulk of the Kenneth story (since a quick skim of the comments has me thinking I'd just be flogging a dead horse at this point) but I do take issue with the OP's description of Exalted. Now if he was talking about Exalted 2e fair enough; that edition went anime AF. But if he meant 3e then I'd have leaned more on wuxia stories like Journey to the West or, for something more recent, Handsome Siblings (can't remember when that one was written, I'm just thinking of the TV adaptation I found on Netflix a couple years back), with parallels to ancient Greek epics and generally the whole mythology side of Overly Sarcastic Productions.

Story 2: just play pathfinder 2e. That's probably the best system to actually play cross class better

I’m a Christian, but I have characters who worship the gods of the multiverse. Heck, I have a gnoll in our Pathfinder game who worships her ancestors. She’s a good aligned gnoll and most of her clan is either good or neutral, just thought I’d mention that because, you know, the reputation of gnolls.

There is a lot to unpack with that last story. 1: I have a feeling that magic doesn't exist at all in Kenneth's games, since all Christian zealots see all magic as evil and satanic. 2: What the hell kind of family did he have that he's so zealous that he's never even heard of the concept of a pantheon?

I would love to probe Kenneth's mind, and honestly? Since I find theology to be fascinating I'd probably 'that guy' his campaign. Seeing how he doesn't know what pantheon or animism is, I'm suspecting his knowledge of christianity is also pretty limited to whatever is discussed at sunday school. I'd want to create a true catholic crusader and begin enacting warcrimes in the name of god after getting the pope's permission, cutting off thieves' hands and nailing them to statues of christ, just go absolute dark age on his campaign.

purified dnd i got to the end

"The rules don't make sense anyway!"

"The second story wanted a video game experience" What video games are you guys playing?

I'll never understand the Christians who play/want to play a TTRPG but can't understand that the games use a pretend pantheon

I'm not Christian but I can actually imagine a way that a Christian dnd game could by fun but it would have to be like Narnia

A person who cannot separate reality from fantasy just shouldn't play games that *can* veer off of their delusion. Simple. We're past the days of converting past religious groups and turning their gods into Christian Saints (which I still hate to this day because it's a deception even Satan would do). There's no need to force your beliefs onto another group of people, especially a group of people with a wide variety of backgrounds where conversation fails at. Personally, he deserves a long, painful life for unintentionally continuing what the devil would want humans to do. Decieve followed up with convert.

I would probably find a Christianity-themed D&D game interesting for the short term, but I enjoy that Forgotten Realms has over 30 gods for humans and more for non-humans.

Guy mocks them for caring about the rules of the game, then complains about how the rules should let him get stronger as he levels up, when they already do. Obviously, the guy has given the rule book nothing more than a cursory glance over at best.

Bigotry is not always someone shouting the derogatory words as people have been trained only to notice, sometimes it’s just simply some calm voiced asshole gatekeeping people of a different (insert petty differences here) from their games

Kenneth, buddy, no. I’m Christian myself but I’ve always had the logic to separate the game from reality. I mean seriously it’s an rpg, the whole point is to play something you aren’t, my current character is actually agnostic funnily enough but that’s not reflective of me, it’s just a character that I made up.

Freaking Kenneth is a zealot.

These Mary Sues, I don't get how they can continue to function. They want to constantly win, wouldn't that get boring for them?
