It is not the D&D=Devil Woshiping though that worries me (I think that has run its course and those who still think that way I likely have other larger issues with), but rather the uber-geek stigma. I do IT for a living so I already have the geek label, but the computer-geek label is widely accepted in american culture so that is not realy a problem. The problem I have is admitting my gaming to women. For some reason I have no problem saying I work with computers for a living, I play computer games, I read Sci-fi/fantasy, but when it comes to I play D&D I feel that I am crossing a line over into super-nerd=unatractive. These other things especialy the computer stuff may actually work in my favor since it may imply that I could make lots of money, but D&D seems to turn most women off rather than atracting them (no offence intended to our many female ENworlders). Maybe I am immagining this, but this is MY possibly delusional world.</p></blockquote><p></p>
