Personally, DR is too allegorical or much too "unreal" to be played
regularly as entertainment. That's not to say my interest in it is any less
enthusiastic! I tried to spice the game up, since I came from AD&D, but
didn't have much success. Elves and Dwarves and other races were
experimented with, and I still think I have some of the info I wrote down.
You made a mistake many people from an AD&D background tend to make with
DragonRaid; it's not really a Christian roleplaying game, or a "redeemed"
version of Dungeons and Dragons. Instead, it's a rather intensive
discipleship program cleverly disquised in a fantasy setting. Think of it
more as Sunday School or other teaching material, and your approach to it
will change dramatically.
As for the revisions -- we're quite interested in them. We're working
towards the Rebirth of DragonRaid even now, with the intention of building a
second edition. I suspect Joe Reverez will be getting in touch with you
sometime soon.
