Jack Chick has not reprinted Dark Dungeons in forever and a day.

Anyone know where a person can get a physical copy of his publication?

They come up pretty regularly on EBay. Here is a link to one I found in minutes, a more detailed search may yield more available.

Oddly enough, I just received in a package of minis recently a 'freebie' from the seller. One of his 'publications' called "The Mad Machine". There is a website at www.chick.com if you are so inclined.

Personally, I'm not so inclined, but there ya go.

Do a search on Jack Chick Publications Collectors or some such. There is a collector's site for these tracts and the guy running it sold me five copies of Dark Dungeons a while back.

I can't remember the price, but it wasn't expensive....cheaper than the current auction when you figure the shipping in.

That thing is HILARIOUS! It never fails to get a full belly laugh out of me every time I see it.

It's been a joke around my table for literally YEARS now. "Hey DM, when do we get the REAL POWER?"

Oh and the CTHULHU version of one of his other tracts is pretty good too. Google up that while you're at it.

You can read all of the booklet here, but the site has no copies for sale.

You can order, on their website, 10K copies for $800 + $115 shipping, and you get a free custom back logo / message.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

sorry just had to share;)

RPG's are Evil - Dark Dungeons: The Movie! by JR Ralls — Kickstarter

although I find it quite funny that the guy running it also contributed to a "storytelling" game LOL

Brette:)

Ummm... let's get the facts straight. Tom Hanks only acted in the movie. He did not write, produce, or direct. So, it's not 'his' per se.

Mr. Hypocrite wrote:JR Ralls is also the name I'd like associated with this project because I'd rather D&D, witchcraft, and ultra-low-budget movie making not be the first thing that future employers see when they Google my name.

So confident that what he is doing is right, he's hiding his proper identity. Man up if you believe in what you say.

And just what is a supposedly such moral and God-fearing person doing gambling? What an apostate.

I have the impression from the KS page and youtube clip (watched about half of it) that this guy is doing this tongue in cheek for satirical reasons, not because he is trying to spread the word of Jack Chick.

Yep.

Yeah, except for the 'secret' part.

Personally, even if it is satire, why give Jacko the publicity? Bad press is better than no press. Give money towards the project, and you aid the cause.

Keep in mind that there are different versions of Dark Dungeons. The original (harder to find) version involved a footnote explicitly identifying the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis as "occult writings" that should be burned. When someone pointed out to Chick that C.S. Lewis was one of the most respected Christian apologists of the twentieth century, the footnote was quietly removed.

Shhh... as you know, that information is only for 4th Level Prolific Collectors :wink:

I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.
