Charity Refuses Donation Because of D&D Connection

Posted by samzenpus on from the tainted-money dept.

An anonymous reader writes "This year's GenCon Charity Auction raised over $17,000 which they intended to donate to Gary Gygax's favorite charity, Christian Children's Fund. However, the charity refused the donation when they learned of its connection to Dungeons & Dragons." It seems to me all they would need to do is cast remove curse or dispel evil and the money would be fine to use.

    I am so glad that they have a reasonable reason for doing this. I was a victim of my grandmother taking away my AD&D books back in the 90's due to the 700 Club helpfully telling her they would allow me to summon a demon from hell or force me to kill myself when my alternate persona died.

    Do you now have a set of dice lovingly carved from her bones?

    D&D supports creationism, why else would monsters get spawned? They are not evolved, but just appear in spots = intelligent design.
