Dungeon and Dragons kill a baby, well it was actually the parents who killed the baby however they forgot about the baby because they were so busy playing D&D. The baby starved to death, yes, tears still overtake me at the that thought. The baby died of starvation, think of that, think of the languish cries of the baby, of the hunger pangs, and discomfort that this child, God's creation had to suffer.
Now I would like anyone to tell me that this is not devilish, who or what would make a mother forget to take care of her baby. How engrossed could they have been in their
fabled world that they not hear a child's scream of hunger. How could they be so beguiled by a game that a human life is sacrificed. I did say sacrificed, the child was the Sacrificial Lamb of D&D. The crazed parents in my view had sold their souls to the devil. A reporter said that they had food in the home and that they had taken the time to nourish themselves. The baby starved. Evil won over Good, the devil won and God instead gives us free will to choose right from wrong. That opted for all the pleasure , self indulgence and narcissism that the Devil showers on all who follow him. Dungeons and Dragons is an open door to the Lair of Satan himself one innocent baby can attest to that.

Sorry parents don't neglect a baby because of a game. They do it because they are evil, the fact they were playing D&D, while their baby starved to death isn't because the game is demonic. No loving parent, that loved their child would allow that to happen...
I call bullshit.
Why make up stories like this when actual murders have been linked to RPGs.
Seriously, there are sooo many true crime books about this subject and you have to make up some starvation bullshit?
There WAS actually a story of serious neglect that came about because of an online game, I don't recall the child actually dying though. If I find the link, I'll post it.
Mind you, it still doesn't make D&D bad... I'm sure many parents manage to play without neglecting their kids!
EDIT: Found it... http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,289331,00.html
The child did NOT die though, as I thought.
My GM and one of the players (don't worry, he kills her off as often as anyone else though not as often as the thief) have a kid, just a few months old.
Can't even crawl or talk and she already loves sitting in on the games. Food's never an issue.
Those jackasses always look for something, ANYTHING, except the parents themselves (unless they find something on the parents, like "one of them was a liberal" or some other dumb shit), and certainly never the school, or society, or other things that may have failed. No, its gotta be the games. or the music.
On the off chance there's somebody that hasn't read the classic Chick Tract <a href="http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0046/0046_01.asp "> Dark Dungeons. </a>
There was a story a while back about some vegan parents that starved their baby. The papers made it sound like it was their veganism that killed the baby, not the fact that two idiots (who probably actual meant to harm their baby) were "nourishing" a newborn on apple juice and soymilk. Now, I don't know how radical your food beliefs are, but let me help you with one thing: Human babies eat from human breasts. Feeding your baby with milk you produced in your own body is not against any belief real or imagined.
Wow, where the hell did that come from? Probably a remenant of insanity left in me form a youth playing D&D and reading Lovecraft.
>You'd think they would move on to MMOs. D&D paranoia is so early-80s.
Even though the OP is clueless as to the difference, the FOX News article does, in fact, refer to the MMO game D&D Online.
I do believe I heard a story similar to this. Since I have played D&D for years, I can say that the simple fact that they were playing D&D does not mean that D&D was the reason for them neglecting their children. Say it with me, now, folks:
Correlation does not mean causation!
These parents (if in fact they did exist) were numbskulls at best and garbage at worst. They were bad parents, regardless of what they were doing at the time.
And I once heard of a Christian fundie who drowned her kids in the bathtub. Your point?
Oh, and Elena, while I've watched that movie before, it's so great. And so true. As an ex-D&D-player (quit when I realized it was 45% arguing, 45% joking, and 5% actual half-serious playing).
It's still working! Twenty years in and it's still working! Those D&D wussies let a baby starve to death more or less accidentally and they get all the bad press!
Meanwhile, we Call of Cthulhu players have spent our time actively sacrifying children to the Great Old Ones and getting away with it! It's still working!
Cthulhu Ftagn!
It's funny. To begin with, most of the D&D are usually under 30, single and men. Nerdish too, for that matter, so..............I say that you're inventing that story. And anyway, the problem is not the game, but the parents. It's like saying that(and it happens to lots), because a mother has to work or has to remove a bad parked car and there is an accident at home, work and cars should be forbidden. No, it's the people in charge who have to be adjusted, not the mean.
It takes quite a lot, even for a baby, to die of starvation, without FIRST crying and not alarming anybody. I call it bullshit.
If it were true, we'd have known by the news, by different kinds of fundies and by many other people, and you'd give data about that, not by a ridiculous internet page.
*sigh* It was a number of MMORPG(s) not D&D, No child died, and you can't blame a game for the massive incompetence of a single pair of people.
such dedication to failure demands a reward:

She's actually mixing up two real facts. One, a woman neglected her daughter playing gambling online(she had a problem of game adiction)and the second story was two parents who played several games online and had a problem with adiction and, among the long list of them, Dungeons and Dragons, but, again, mixed with Tetrix and many others. And the kids, two, didn't die. They are, in fact, getting better.
@Evergreen - Yes, I read that same article. The baby was taken into protective services. The parents, however, failed to make their saving throw vs. abject stupidity.
Obviously, Sara has never played D&D - otherwise, she'd know that the damn game moves too slow for anyone to be THAT engrossed in it to the point of being able to ignore a child.
Is there a Making-Shit-Up Award?
If so, this should win.
If not, there should be, and this should win.
Huh. Just last night I ran a D&D game, and the couple that my wife & I game with have a 3-month old baby.
During the game, the baby started crying because it was hungry. And y'know what happened?
The mother fed the baby, because she's a decent freaking parent.
Something tells me you're lying, Sara.

#351750: Actually, D&D has become much more mainstream. There are a dozen female players in my gaming group alone.
(I think the fact that Vin Diesel plays D&D helps, too.)
Extremely bad parenting kill a baby, well it was actually the parents who killed the baby however they forgot about the baby because they were so busy being bad parents. The baby starved to death, yes, tears still overtake me at the that thought. The baby died of starvation, think of that, think of the languish cries of the baby, of the hunger pangs, and discomfort that this child, God's creation had to suffer.
Now I would like anyone to tell me that this is not devilish, who or what would make a mother forget to take care of her baby. How engrossed could they have been in their bad parenting that they not hear a child's scream of hunger. How could they be so beguiled by being incompetent that a human life is sacrificed. I did say sacrificed, the child was the Sacrificial Lamb of bad parenting. The crazed parents in my view had sold their souls to the devil. A reporter said that they had food in the home and that they had taken the time to nourish themselves. The baby starved. Evil won over Good, the devil won and God instead gives us free will to choose right from wrong. That opted for all the pleasure , self indulgence and narcissism that the Devil showers on all who follow him. Terrible parenting is an open door to the Lair of Satan himself one innocent baby can attest to that.
Ehh...
