The music is really good. I do not think that "badass" is the proper term to use here, but there is a definite campy charm about it. It reminds me of a cross between Christian Death, a bad Rainbow cover band, and 80s porn music.

What never ceases to amaze me about these vintage anti-occult things, is how they can be so right, for reasons so wrong. Yes, people reading horoscopes and playing with tarot cards is worrying, and it is right to bitch when society embraces these things - but it's worrying because horoscopes are demonstrable flimflam, not because they're manifestations of demonic power.

I should never have worn heavy armor while casting that.

It depends on what ruleset you are using. Since the casting seemed to be based on verbal, rather than somatic, components, then under standard d20 (3.5 & Pathfinder) rules you should be fine.

Only Christians play Pathfinder.

Satan demands a THAC0.

Yeah, yeah, I guess that's right. THAC0 is pretty bullshit.

I find it interesting that I had to stop for a minute, and think long and hard about where the pejorative implications lay, regarding what you just said. That is to say, my social instinct - the one imprinted upon me by a lifetime of frankly pro-Satanic influences - caused me to parse "Satan demands a" as a GOOD thing, as an earnest endorsement of THAC0, rather than its historically understood meaning (the meaning which would have come naturally to someone born prior to the invention of rock music and D&D), that being an earnest *condemnation* of THAC0! Even now, I'm thinking that your authorially intended meaning was probably a sort of ironically un-ironic disparagement of Pathfinder and the promotion of 2nd Edition (which, in an even MORE ironic turn of events, was probably the single most Christ-friendly i.e. lame edition of that game!) Perhaps you were aware that 2nd Edition was heavily influenced by pro-Christian designers and businessmen like the Mormon Tracy Hickman, and you likened 2nd Edition to Satan so as to add yet another layer of irony on top of your post. Perhaps not. The important thing here is that I, and very probably you, both default to the premise that Satan is good, Christians are bad.


What might this mean for the central thesis of "Doorways to Danger"?

It means the Lord's Prayer backwards spell is bullshit.
