[QUOTE="jimmifett, post: 6396501, member: 55006"] My old man played ODnD just before I was born and while an infant. Mom never cared for it bc he was out with his buddies playing. I never knew he played until 20 years later or so. I recall the 80s thing, and my grandmother buying into everything she hears from the tv evangelists, so it was a topic of conversation briefly. If anyone would have had a problem, it would have been her. It never clashed with my christianity in the slightest, tho my 4th grade daughter has a small like of Cthulhu mythos games and stuff that I keep an eye on and balance out with good conservative moral guidance in daily life. Then we have this weekend, was running Phandelver at game store, and a middle school kid no older than 11-12 walks up and shows interest. I flip him a 1st level wizard and walk him through the game. Liked his enthusiasm, wanting to cast shield at his feet and use magic missle to do a rocket jump up to a ledge. Maybe with a fireball, but sadly not magic missile. He had a blast and went home with a character sheet and his player tent with the advice to find the basic rules online and play with his friends. I can only imagine, however, the conversation when he got home... Mom: Hi honey, how was Card Fight at the game store today? Kid: I played dungeons and dragons. Mom: Oh, what did you do? Kid: We went around a cave decapitating goblins because a guy in town was paying 1gp each for them. I froze one goblin's head and he fell over and it shattered into large chunks, but we used twine to hold the pieces together. A guy set himself on fire with an oil flask trying to get the bad guys. We carried the heads back to town in the back of our wagon and dumped them on the shop keeper's porch to get paid. Mom: ... [/QUOTE]
