No problem on the questions, and I won't take them in an inflammatory way.    Close family, yes. As to the previous poster mentioning his family was as Christian as it gets, no, sorry, I have a grandmother that would burn our books and hang us all as devils for playing, and yes, it does bother me that she feels that way, the game did, after all, keep me out of drugs and most other mischief. Coworkers, well, many of those working in my profession also did the artwork for the book, and I am not 100% on how they all feel about it, other than Wizards pays well for artwork.     However, I do 'waste' brainwaves on what others think. For myself, the book is of no consequence, but I cannot see how it will invite people to our hobby. I noticed you mentioned the First Amendment before, there are ways of pressuring book outlets and games stores to not carry this and other books that basically lends itself to censorship. Many people are right, this is not the 80's anymore, there is far more control than there was back then.     I don't think a person's understanding or lack thereof of our hobby makes a person reasonable or not. I make money creating art, and many people find that incomprehensible, doesn't make them irrational, they just see the world differently. And yes, most people see it is geeky, until they see a book on evil, then take things more seriously.     Hey, if I am being Chicken Little, I am actually happy for it. I really don't want anything to happen to compromise our hobby. I do hope I am wrong. Completely and helplessly wrong. And if so, I will apologize to one and all, but I just cannot see anything good coming down the pike from what I have seen.hellbender</blockquote>
