How many Crips played D&D? That could explain all the drive by spells...

They should be stuffed into dungeons, not playing them.

LOL. Are they going to use RICO to shut down WoW? Can’t wait to see the DOJ tweak out over the Alliance and the Horde.

[Jewbacca]

This is silly.

I guess chess is out, too.

I would think the most popular character class is....Thief.

[allmendream]

D&D is not a board game.

Does a gang of pencil necked geeks forming behind bars really frighten prison officials? I would think D&D nerds in prison SHOULD pack together for safety.

And on the subject of a “spell casting drive by” I think one of the D&D books showed a scene that was like that, guy “driving by” on a horse, of course....

Evidence 1 and 2.

"cooperative games can mimic the organization of gangs and lead to the actual development thereof."

So much for youth athletics.

[Snickering Hound]

They use elves to recruit.

Who made Pat Pulling a judge?

You can play an orc these days? Back when I played you could only be a half-orc, and you were limited in your abilities and you had a horrible backstory in your character creation and we liked it!

[VegasCowboy]

Only nerds are responding to this thread.

Wait, what?

I can understand the judges position from two points.

1. You’re in prison. You lose every right when you commit crimes, except what the prison allows. If you’re in prison, your time should be spent on useful things so can become a productive citizen when you get out. If you want to have fun, keep out of prison.

2. I can see how a gang could use a roleplaying map for their benefit. Their territory or their target’s territory could be adapted to look like a dungeon map or forest map or something like the map of a kingdom could really be the city of Los Angeles. It would be a useful tool for a gang to send information to their cohorts outside the prison wall.

The case brought before the Appeals Court argued that D&D inhibited prison security, because "cooperative games can mimic the organization of gangs and lead to the actual development thereof."

Bullstalin. Earlier reports on this case had authorities saying that it was escapism and should not afford them relief from their imprisonment.

Prisons are A-OK with racist gangs and even Wahabist recruiting in prisons. Racial disharmony keeps the inmates hostile at one another rather than the guards and other staff.
