[QUOTE="Knightcrawler, post: 369792, member: 5097"] I have to repley to something that Buttercup said of the people from group A. Its not that we actually care about what some of the nuts out there think about D&D. Its what they may actually try. The fear and lies spread in the 80's by such groups as BADD made it very hard to be a gamer. Now I like to think that we live in an more enlightened time. But there are always those that are looking for something to destroy. If you did not game in the eighties then you can't entirely know what it was like. If you did I apologize for this. But like I said before gamers were a very hunted and hounded breed in the 80's. It was often difficult to find any gamers much less enough for a group. Kids had to hide their books from their parents. All sorts of things. Go and watch "Mazes & Monsters" to get a feel of how much of what much of the general publics opinion of D&D was. While its not actually a bad movie it shows the reactionary mood of the time. Watched today its actually a little funny. [/QUOTE]
