[QUOTE="Ulrick, post: 4758374, member: 775"] I similar thing happened to myself and my best friend back in high school. Apparently, my best friend's parents played D&D before they became Christians. But once they became Christians, they stopped and became adamantly opposed to D&D based on literature like Jack Chick and what the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy say about mediums, sorcerers, and mediums. When I introduced my best friend to D&D in middle-school, he knew he would get into a lot of trouble so he had to hide what few books he had. To put things in further perspective: HeroQuest was okay. My friend could buy and paint all kinds of D&D/fantasy miniatures to introduce to that game. One time, when we played D&D at his place (with much risk) and his parents came home too soon. So we quickly plopped down the HeroQuest board and everything was fine--despite the D&D books being poorly hidden. :lol: Anyway, my best friend kept his D&D hobby a secret for about three years. It all ended one summer when his mother cleaned his room and found his D&D stash. His parents took him out into the country and burned his books in a ditch while they prayed for his soul. They even burned HeroQuest and melted down all those minis. They forbid him to be my friend until I stopped playing D&D. If they even suspected my best friend was over at my home, they would rally the family and surround the place until my friend would come out. Yes, there were times when he was there...and there were times when he wasn't but they would not believe me when I told them: because I was such a corrupting person. Just so I could hang out with my friend again, I told them I wouldn't play D&D again. We didn't have any problems after that. But I didn't like making such a big lie either. :erm: His own father (who conducted the burning), a little bit later, started a Star Wars RPG which my friend and I played in. So, I guess "the Force" was okay but "Magic" was not... Edit: To add the part about burning HeroQuest and playing Star Wars. [/QUOTE]
