	Concerns Christians Should Have About Dungeons & Dragons
		Some Christian groups seize on the "games lure kids into cults" (among other things) as proof of the world's corruption: The fortress mentality is the first step in psychological alienation that cults must use in order to control their members.
		The claim that fantasy games are dangerous alone demonstrates a willingness to ignore the truth and the evidence rather than admit to being wrong, duped or used.
		Clinging to the "fantasy games are evil" argument is akin to claiming that the world is flat, because Christians used to believe the world was flat, all evidence to the contrary ignored.

	Dnd (computer game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		dnd is a computer role playing game written in the TUTOR programming language for the PLATO System by Gary Whisenhunt and Ray Wood at Southern Illinois University in 1974 and 1975.
		Later PLATO games, such as avatar, oubliette, baradur, moria, dndworld, bnd, and sorcery, were heavily influenced by dnd (and each other) while adding innovative features of their own, from 1976 to 1979.
		Some games on non-PLATO computers were directly derived from dnd and other PLATO games by authors who copied the PLATO versions (in particular, the non-PLATO game named "dnd" with its goal of finding "the orb"), while other games, such as Rogue, were most likely independently created several years later.

	History and Development of the Computer Video Game
		Computer games are often more powerful than console games because of early market releases of their external architecture and graphics cards.
		While other games would also make use of it, the FPS would become the chief driving force behind the development of new 3D hardware, as well as the yardstick by which its performance would be measured, usually quantified as the number of frames per second rendered for a particular scene in a particular game.
		Games running on a PC are often designed with end-user modifications in mind, and this consequently allows modern computer games to be modified by gamers without much difficulty.

	Mark's Favorite Non Computer (Board and Card) Games
		The biggest problem with non-computer games is finding an opponent, so the list is not as extensive as I don't have that many game playing friends.
		Games are linked together so the gold obtained in the games can be used to purchase better weapons, etc. Expansion scenarios are available as well.
		The game play is simple, each side has a number of pieces and each piece has a attack value, defense value and number of hit points.

	DND for DOS - MobyGames
		DND is a PC conversion of the seminal mainframe classic of the same name, which started computer role-playing games.
		DND lets you generate your character by randomly rolling attributes (Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Constitution, Dexterity and Charisma) and then select one of three classes (Cleric, Fighter or Magician, the first and last are able to cast spells).

	What Is D&D?
		This is the Dungeons and Dragons Roleplaying Game, the game that defines the genre and has set the standard for fantasy roleplaying for more than 30 years.
		As a hobby game, DandD is an ongoing activity to which players might devote hours of their time—much like a weekly poker game—getting together with friends on a regular basis for weeks, months, or even years.
		The game assumes the use of miniatures and a battle grid, and the rules are written from this perspective.

	GameSpy.com - Hall Of Fame: DND
		These games were chosen either because of their brilliant gameplay (which makes them playable to this day), or because they innovated in such a way to reshape gaming in their time.
		The game was version 1.12 of DND, its name drawn from the famous Dungeons and Dragons pen-and-paper RPG series that (unofficially) inspired it.
		The original version of DND, however, had been created by Daniel Lawrence in the early '70s, and by 1984 was being distributed in a modified form as Avalon Hill's Telengard, one of the all-time early computer classics.

		DND v1 is the 'original' release -- a v2 release came out with several sub-versions, added the "M" command and assigning operator privilege to the 1:216 node, as well as improving the TMP file handling.
		DND was ported to the PC and PCjr in 1982 by Dan, in C. He's looking for this port, and I will all too happily make it available should it be located again.
		DND was developed over the course of 1982 through 1984, and finally released to the public through the increasingly popular Shareware/Public Domain market.

	Roguelike
		A roguelike is a computer game that borrows some of the elements of another computer game, 1980's Rogue.
		A roguelike is a superficially two-dimensional dungeon crawling computer game, usually with simple text or ASCII "graphics" and many with "tiles" which replace the rather limited character set with a wider array.
		Roguelike games feature randomly generated dungeon levels, which give them more replay value than games in which the levels are the same every time, though many have static levels as well.

	History of computer and video games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many of the earliest computer games ran on university mainframes in the United States and were developed by individual users who programmed them in their idle time.
		The game is loosely based around table tennis: ball is "served" from the center of the court and as the ball moves towards their side of the court each player must maneuver their bat to hit the ball back to their opponent.
		In computer gaming, the later 1980s are primarily the story of the United Kingdom's rise to prominence.

		The game now features four races (compared with two as in 1995's "WarCraft II"), each with its own distinct units, weapons of war, magic abilities, legendary heroes and unique side to the story.
		Similar to its pen-and-paper predecessors, this game is a first in that it allows players to become a "Dungeon Master" during multiplayer matches.
		At the beginning of the game, players must spend time customizing the race, class and look of their character before setting out on the lengthy expedition.

		The "Baldur's Gate" and "Icewind Dale" computer games are also both set in the Faerun of the Realms; the former in the Sword Coast area, the latter in the far north.
		However, be careful in using these tips, as repeated use of these techniques may lead to anger on the part of players who feel the DM is making life harder for their characters than for the rest of the party.
		An alternate (or parallel) in-game explanation is that level- draining undead have strong ties to the Negative Material Plane, and are essentially negatively-charged objects, and void of life.

	rec.games.frp.dnd FAQ: 5/9 -- Glossary
		This is not to say that all "power gaming" is munchkin and bad, as it is possible and common for a group to decide to run a campaign with incredibly high amounts of power, yet have it contain just as much challenge and roleplaying as any other campaign.
		With this kind of game, there is actually some question as to whether or not any or all of the characters could survive a given encounter, but the point is not basic survival, but a balance of power and role-playing.
		In addition, most of the characters in a "power game" environment actually have to work (and role-play) for each and every powerful item they gain, instead of turning into a walking magic shop when "my two rich uncles just willed all of their magic items to me," or some such.

		I really do hope this game will live up to expectations, which are growing the more press this game gets and the closer it gets to release.
		The game will be great; but it's a tad early to predict it's greatness - espicially when there are certain "issues" that already hurt the game from my poiint of view, and as all wise people know only my view counts.
		The game could still be awful, but the information I have tells me that almost everything I could possibly want is in, and the majority of the things that could ruin a game like this are out; so that doesn't leave lots of potential from disappointment.

		By and large, that means that if the discussion is about how to take elements from other d20 games and integrate them into DandD, then that is on topic; if the discussion is about other d20 games in their own right, without any meaningful references to DandD, then that is off-topic.
