I have been playing role-playing games for the past ten years, and I have bene an active in LARP and RPG groups. Starting as two weeks from now I am going to be in the National LARP Board of Finland. This means I am going to have to answer questions like this.Rule no. 1 Never, ever, after someone has refused you a certain activity, do you go behind their backs and do it anyways. You are merely confirming their suspicions with actual acts, and you should abide by their decision no matter how wrong you feel their opinion is.A person with a very strong opinion will not change their opinion, even if you give them tons of "positive research material."This however, does not mean that you should geive up on having a gaming club. There are several avenues open to you.But before that, I suggest that you address your parents with the situation, and ask their opinion on the matter. Another option open to you is by bringing it up at a PTA meeting. Bring some RPG material with you, and be prepared to rationally describe why you think a gaming club would be important in the school, and what exactly is role-playing since most parents don't really know. Whatever you do don't go into personal attacks, since that is low, and shows you to be childish.Another way, is asking the local library for help on setting up a gaming club. Most libraries have drives to make youth read more, and any inkling in that direction is taken with a lot of good wil.I suggest you also see if there is a cultural commitee or some kind of organization which is responsible for culture (like drama clubs) in your town. You might also be able to get a financial sponsorship from said organization, or at least free space for running the club .As I said first. Whatever you do is: when someone refuses you something  don't go behind their backs and do it anyways. You are showing an unusual lack of trust and lack moral integrity, which is your strongest card in this situation.EDIT: Typos and poor wording-Angel Tears</blockquote>
