I have to wonder just what ulterior motive they're talking about. All I saw was a bunch of jerks who remind me of my earliest D&D games, in which the characters were downright mean-spirited and things became quite surreal.

I think it was making fun of people who think D&D is satanic, by showing what would happen if someone tried to use a D&D game to summon an elder evil. Problem was, the writer has quite obviously never played D&D.

Or was deliberately getting it wrong to broaden the audience, by playing on existing stereotypes or avoiding humor which requires knowledge of the game. Or had jokes edited out for the same reason (which has happened before on that site, a "silly monster" article, which was bombarded with "obviously never played before" comments).

That...was incredibly boring. What was the joke exactly?

After plodding through about 20% of this exceptionally boring narrative, I fast-forwarded to the end to see if there was a point. There wasn't. The whole thing was a plug for some stupid book, whose name I, thankfully, forgot.
