Re: [HOE] Gamers Beware! A word of warning!!!

UH, oh.......

Well, I didn´t know that church groups are that influential in the states.
Until now, in Germany the government thought of banning several 3-d
Shooters, but never any Roleplaying Games. Hope they never will.
I play Vampire regulary and to the content of some of the sourcebooks I must
say: Yes, they often are brutal and dirty and definitely should notbe sold
to under 18 - people.
By the way, I loooooooove the books of White Wolf and will also have a look
into "demon: the fallen".
For heavens sake! In the name of the lord! Jesus!
