Honest to God, I'm normally not one to cry about depriving prisoners of some of the creature comforts us law-abiding citizens get to enjoy, but this story about a judge that will not allow D&D to be played by inmates is a bit cruel and unusual.  I mean, the whole basis of the decision is that it might stimulate "gang activity" and that inmates could "act out" crimes in the game.

Really?  D&D is one of the biggest threats to our prison system, but letting prisoners lift weights and buff up before letting them out on parole is perfectly safe for society?  And just when I thought we had come a long way from the societal paranoria of RPGs epitomized in Mazes and Monsters.

Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go pop a +2 Cap of Smiting in some Drow, yo.
