What are we going to do?
Last week, I arrived at my computer class early to put the finishing touches on my PowerPoint assignment. I decided to present various art pictures from magic cards that I had found on the WotC magic site. While I was working on it, a girl in the class (I wont mention names) walked over and asked if I was going to present my project. I said no, cause I didn't want to have to explain what the game was about and where the pics came from.
She looked at the pics for a sec, looks kinda sad and says that she used to have a friend who used to play magic. Then she goes on to say that she used to pray for him every night, in hopes that he would give up the satanistic game.
???????????
How are we going to get magic accepted in to mainstream society if this is going to happen?
It seems to me that our biggest problem is the church. They seem to think that the term Magic denotes satanism or witchcraft.
Should we change the name back to what Dr. Garfield had orignally called it? Mana Clash? or maybe we should do what Inquest did. Convert all the pics into anime or give them cute names like Pokemon?
Speaking of Pokemon, why is a game that promotes violence such mainstream and magic isn't? All pokemon is, is two cute creatures trying to kill each other (or "knock each other out"). And magic is all about the strategy behind killing somebody else.
What are we to do??
