The internet was only in its infancy, in fact the web was just becoming public. Every now and then he'd bring the game group up to his bedroom and show us the newest batch Dolcet sketchings he found on the 'net. I think he kept a collection on his computer.  Kinda' creepy.More recently, at an RPGA convention in the Twin Cities, there was a female gamer, who was chaparoning two young kids and introducing them to D&D at the convention. I was DMing the table with her, the two kids, and three others (of which was another father and his two kids) through an intro mod. She had a arcane spellcaster that was out of really useful spells at this point. She was feeling useless while everyone was doing exciting things. She then tells me she was going to cast mage hand (her only spell left) and squeeze the big bag guy's testicles, and yank on them, hoping to distract the guy. Everyone at the table went silent. The children all stared at the table. The other adult just walked away from the table after she said this.I was introduced to another fellow through my brother's then girlfriend. She heard we played D&D and knew a neighbor kid who said he played D&D also and was looking for a group to game in. We were in need of more players so took him in. He told us many times how his parents were fundamentalists christians (he said this disparagingly) who thought he was into satanism and wouldn't play D&D. Understandably, we sympathized with him. Later as time went on, he told us many tales about his life, many of which unravelled as we talked to others that knew him. Things like, how he was dating a model, or dating a rich heiress, or that his parents attacked him. All proved false. So many minor things fell apart, on top of these pretty big things that we all got worried just being around him not knowing when we'd be the target of his imagination. Oh yeah, he eventually was arrested for car theft and put in jail. We later learned that his parents were devout christians, but didn't mind his playing D&D at all.Regards,Eric Anondson</blockquote>
