[QUOTE="Ulrick, post: 1607456, member: 775"] My friend had parents who were very religious. They firmly believed D&D was Satanic so we had to play in secret. Oddly enough he could play Hero Quest. We got away with it for 3 years until the summer after being freshmen in highschool. His mother often would "randomly" clean Nathan's room. That is, she'd snoop. He actually had his books pretty well hidden but she found them and freaked out. His parents took his books and minis and everything remotely D&D related (not Hero Quest) and took them out to a dirt road in the country. They threw all his stuff into the ditch and burned it while they prayed for his soul. Afterwords, he wasn't aloud over to my place at all. For any reason. If they even suspected he was over, they'd round up the family and surround my apt so he could get away. Once they came over and he wasn't even there. Finally, I lied to them saying that I got rid of all my D&D stuff. Thus, I was able to see my best friend. And we continued playing in secret. I remember feeling guilty that I had told such a lie. But I honestly felt "persecuted" just because I played a game. It just had to end. [/QUOTE]
