Here here.
I am still very upset on this whole point. I read that Dark Dungeons
thing and thats _why_ I started gaming.To get those witchcraft and
satanic abilities. I know I have put in the required hours! But still no
powers. I have run everything and anything as well played them. Still no
occult powers! I am beginning to think this is a rip off!
