Half the people in my gaming group had a copy of the D&D tract in their set. It was a right of passage to read that during the game. Kind of like watching Reefer Madness stoned, it’s something you had to do at least once.

I remember being a kid and going into Downtown Pittsburgh to buy records and stuff. You’d always come home with a handful of Chick Tracts, having been leafleted on every corner.

This gaming site does a pretty good job fisking Chick's Dark Dungeons tract.

I particularly like this riff:

While at Ms. Frost's house, fighting 'the Zombie,' Debbie gets a call from Marcie. She asks Ms. Frost to tell Marcie that she will see her later that night.

TRUTH: There is more than one zombie in Dungeons & Dragons. By capitalizing the word "zombie" and using it as a singular, Chick openly flaunts his monozombistic worldview - one that is flawed and phony. To suggest that D&D is not polyzombistic is to deny the truth as it is plainly spelled out for us in the Monster Manual.

I might suggest that Chick's tracts were dishonest, narrow-minded propaganda (albeit decently drawn), but I'd hate to be consigned to eternal fire by his fans.
