Is anyone familar with this? I just ordered it from Rainbow Resource as a Christmas present for our sons. I was disappointed when I received it to see that a picture of an alien (as a small part of a fantasty land)is on the game board. I am wondering if I should return it. I saw a good review of this game somewhere and I was hoping that it would be a fun way to help my older reluctant writer and my younger emerging writer. They saw it in the catalog and liked the looks of it, but I don't think they noticed the alien. I am mainly concerned about any moral issues regarding the use of fanasty in this manner, but I may be making a big deal out of nothing. Any advice?
Thanks,
Dana

How old are your boys? I think I would treat it as any other fantasy. It is just made up like Mickey Mouse, Cinderella, etc. I don't know if it is a moral issue with the church or not; I just view them as something make believe.

My boys are 6 and 12. I think that you are right. Thanks for helping me to put it in perspective.
