Gaming is good for you
When she’s not drinking and talking dirty to us, Mur writes for a living. She recently wrote for The Escapist, showcasing the power of gaming and gave huge props for our not-dead friend Derek. In the article:
It’s becoming so ubiquitous that the hatred is old hat to us. Don’t allow your kids to play videogames. It deadens their imagination, makes them more violent, exposes them to boobies and ruins their social conditioning with other kids. Don’t allow your kids to play roleplaying games. It’s a gateway drug to the occult, it encourages devil worship, suicide and only losers do it, anyway.Most gamers are tired of hearing this, so tired they’re numb to the criticisms. But what we don’t hear enough of is the truth of the matter: Gaming is good for you.
Derek didn’t die one year ago to day in about an hour. I’m keeping my fingers crossed and will be calling him soon. Figure he won’t die with me on the phone, right? Cuz I don’t think that even the power of D&D is gonna save his ass twice. Regardless of his modifiers.

Derek rolls natural 20s and takes half damage.
