You mean to tell me that someone conducted independent research to verify what they saw on TV, and then choose not to believe what they saw on TV based on a real life experience?

I don't believe it.

    I can see this happen the following way:

    Grandma is influenced by TV or the local church or whatever and wants to forbid their grandchild DnD. Her son-in-law hates her and tells her to fuck off, explicitly allowing his son to do as he pleases (regarding DnD). His wife wants to pour oil on troubled waters and allows her mother to watch without disturbing the kids unless the satanism shows.

    Then the math induced rage commences.

    At least she was open minded enough to sit in on the session to determine for herself if it really was satanism.

    And her anger actually sounds like it was directed at the satan-preachers, like she was storming off to give them a piece of her mind: "These kids are choosing to play a game that reinforces their math and higher-level thinking skills better than their homework and you want me to stop them!?"

    It's math but with enough consulting of books and argumentation about rule mechanics that I swear lawyers would probably make better dnd players than mathematicians

    so far all the sessions I've been to have at least one american chopper energy moment over rule disagreements and I love it

    every maths professor I've had in college told me to use the simplest numbers possible in my answers because arithmetic is annoying.

    Alright, she's gone, we can start summoning Satan

    I was disappointed it wasn’t satanism too.
