This article was originally slated to follow the audio version in the Spirit Blade Underground podcast, but with Comixology marking all D&D books 60% off until Friday , I wanted to drop it a bit early. Enjoy! I don't remember exactly how I stumbled onto Humble Bundle ; it probably came up in one of the forums or newsgroups I read. However it happened, I arrived just in time to purchase their Dungeons & Dragons digital comic book bundle. The bundle included the complete runs of the Advanced Dungeons &Dragons and Forgotten Realms books that DC Comics published in the 80s and 90s. It hadn't really been on my radar at the time; I was mostly into superhero books. At the moment, though, I was craving good fantasy adventure and wanted something to go along with our current D&D campaign. Good value, good cause, great buy. Better than I knew; the bundle also included the more recent books published by IDW. When I flipped open the first pages of Legends of Ba...

Product Review Dungeons & Dragons (5e) Starter Set Summer of 2014 saw the release of the fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons in a box set designed to introduce new players to the game. The box includes a rule book, an adventure book, pregenerated character sheets, and a full set of dice. It retails for $19.99. Create Your Character +0: The production quality of the box is fairly average. The dice are a nice, marbleized deep blue with bright white numbers. The rule books use thick, glossy presentation pages, and the character sheets are on heavy-weave linen. Both books are coverless, saddle-stitched jobs. A 64-page rulebook and a 32-page adventure book. The included rules are meant to take characters as high as 5 th level, and the adventure booklet maps out this structure very well. The box set plays as a quaint little self-contained game that will provide four or five complete gaming sessions. Roll for Initiative +3: Much of the violence and occult materi...

Adapted from the article "Questionable Content" Many Christians have grown up with the understanding that games with certain themes should be off limits and are sinful by their very nature. Role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons. Tabletop games with violent or dark supernatural themes. The Bible seems to be nearly silent on the topic of entertainment. Is there anything in scripture we can use to help us navigate this issue and avoid problems while not hindering the freedom God intends us to have? There's actually more than you might think! And God wants us to take this kind of time to discern the difference between what is harmful and what is not, rather than just assuming based on tradition or cultural influence. 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 “but test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.” The Greek word for “form” here means “appearance, fashion, shape or sight.” Paul is not saying to avoid anything that LOOKS like evil. He...
