Because of this concern, I had to explain to the kids tonight that other people might view their participation in D&D as evil and sinful.  My main arguement will be that D&D is no different than the xbox 360 games these parents let their kids play...games my kids are not allowed to play.  Have any other parents that allow their kids to play encountered anything along these lines?</blockquote>
