Court Rules Dungeons and Dragons Threatens Prison Security

KermodeBear writes "Dungeons and Dragons — originally Satan's Game — has now been found to encourage gang-like behavior. In a finding by a three judge panel of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, D&D 'can mimic the organization of gangs and lead to the actual development thereof.' From the ruling: 'during D&D games, one player is denoted the "Dungeon Master." 'The Dungeon Master is tasked with giving directions to other players, which Muraski testified mimics the organization of a gang.'"

Re:D&D benefits

It leads to staying locked up in the basement with their accomplices so they're out not committing crimes. Problem solved?

It also leads to players getting their asses "kicked" by those that spend their time lifting weights instead of playing D&D.
