Dungeons & Dragons in the Newspaper

From "Game over: Wisconsin inmate can't play Dungeons & Dragons" by Scott Bauer:

Singer was told by prison officials that he could not keep the materials because Dungeons & Dragons "promotes fantasy role playing, competitive hostility, violence, addictive escape behaviors, and possible gambling," according to the ruling. The prison later developed a more comprehensive policy against all types of fantasy games, the court said.

A new Introduction for a New Start

Dear Readers,

As you may have noticed there has been a few changes at this Aetheric Journal. Due to Blogger.com making changes that affected the previous template (removing the dates, shifting comments and authors up to the top of the post) - a new start was necessary. Those looking for old material can find most of it at the backup Journal at Wordpress.com.

As this is the start of a New Year, as well as the restarting of this Journal - a name change was decided upon. The title and subtitle of this Journal are taken from a book by H.G. Well's (discovered at BigLee's Miniature Adventures).

Despite the name change this Journal will still concern itself mainly with Games of Stories and Imagination (i.e. RPGs), rather than with Wargaming. Your Humble Author also has made a resolution for this year to post more frequently and directly upon such topics.

I must ask for the indulgence and patience of Readers as this Journal undergoes its reconstruction. More interesting matters shall be discussed soon.

Your Humble Servant,
Mild Colonial Boy, Esq.
