Almost like it's a script.Anyway, highschool, 11th grade I think, theology class (Lutheran East in MI). Ozzy & D&D. Evil. I brought up the question of why. They said anything not directly in worship of God was evil. I asked him if he had children. He did. I asked him then if he pictured Jesus on the cross as he helped his wife conceive. I was sent to the principal's office, with a very self-satisfied grin on my face. When asked by the principal why I had asked the question, I simply told him that you may be able to teach me raw information, but no one, ever, will teach me how to think.I didn't even play yet. Or like hard rock music.  Hmmm.Today I like to have select Rob Zombie music play in the background while my wizard obliterates the bad guys.  Today (13 years later), I just have to endure my father's continuous berating of any interest I have that he does not share. My reply to him recently was less than diplomatic: You're  inflexible and unimaginative, and you're like this by choice. Try it out, then you can tell me how it's a waste of time. Til then, you may keep your lack of respect to yourself, or give up the respect I have for you.My wife never played before I introduced her (though she did sort of--long story, I'll spare you). She plays all the time, now. She plays the coolest rogues. . .Anyway, I play as often as we can get together. I avoid the crazies, and there are a few (I seem to attract them-Hope it's the opposites thing). However, just because a crazy chooses to play D&D does not make all D&D players crazy. After all, are mailmen-and-women all crazy because 2 of them shot up their workplaces? Is Satan coming in my mail?E-mail, maybe, but not my mail . . .</blockquote>
