This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I'd agree there but it's exceedingly rare. Of course, you can apply that to most media. That said you've got to have a screw loose in the first place to be affected significantly.
I don't believe that the 'occult' has anything to do with it, or has any true power in the real world. YMMV.

Not as rare as we'd prefer. LARPing seems to attract the worst of these.

There are definitely a few weirdos in that LARP stuff.

Christians have thoughts? Don't they just follow their made up instruction manual? Usually badly.

If the tarot cards are a potential problem, you could always insist on the game using an X-card too. Then, tap away.  8)

I'm guessing there's a few people on here who would not be potential customers of The Invisible College then. Though I'll note that in that RPG, while the magic is all based on concepts from real world occultism, none of it is actually "practiced" in any way in play. You won't become an occultist because you're playing a game.

Considering how much of our modern intellectual world is based on Christianity, and how much of our intellectual world derives from said instruction manual, yes they certainly do have thoughts.

Ironically, I just bought a copy a few days ago and am very much looking forward to it arriving in the mail.

Though it would be amusing if the obligatory anti-lawsuit disclaimer read something like, "Don't try any of this stuff in real life. It either won't work and will just waste your time and tick you off, or it will work in which case you're about to have way bigger problems than whatever made you try it in the first place. Either way, it's not our fault, so go get help."

Didn't Christians pretty much lift all those intellectual elements right out of Plato and Aristotle, though? It's not like the philosophical elements of Christianity arouse out of a vacuum of Abrahamic purity. Most of the Western intellectualism people attribute to Christians these days comes from pagan Greeks and enlightenment thinkers who were often critical of church dogma.

Any opinions on using a ouija board as a random adventure generator?

Don't you know Christian's invented everything, even their own god! Not at all based on a god from someone else's religion who was probably also ripped off from older religions.

Nope original fairytale all around.

It would completely and utterly fail as a random anything.

And ouija board when its actually functioning is everything but random.

I am though surprised no one has tried press-ganging one of these entities into being the DM or an extra player. Slow as heck but would make the perfect Call of Cthulhu GM.

You could always try using a Magic 8 Ball to GM a total sandbox.
