Dark Dungeons #1

Marcie, a dedicated player of Dark Dungeons, a roleplaying game, is devastated when her character is killed and she is expelled from the game. Her friend Debbie is initiated by the gamemaster into a real coven of witches, who cast real spells. Her friend Marcie is depressed by the death of her character, and Debbie visits her, only to discover that she has hung herself in her room. Debbie is shaken by this and confronts her GM, who says that her "spiritual progress" is more important than any "loser". Debbie confides in Mike, who takes her to attend a meeting, in which a former warlock speaks. Debbie renounces the game, burning all her figurines and spellbooks.
