[QUOTE="Moe Ronalds, post: 346413, member: 2083"] Mom: Big Sci Fi and Fantasy reader. Has no problem with it. Actually printed and bound my copy of Deeds Not Words for me. Grandma: Like my mom, she has no problem with it. Never played but did get my uncle interested in it when he was a kid. Uncle And Aunt: Got me interested in D&D, bought me the PHB and Hero Builder's Guidebook as well as a set of dice for my birthday. They met eachother at a game as well. Other Aunt, Uncle, Cousin, Etc: Only see them around the holidays. It's never really come up. Dad's Side of the Family: Last time I saw them I wasn't even playing D&D yet (None of them live in America (the lucky :D :D :D :D :D :D :D )). Dad: Thinks it's a waste of time and money. THinks all fantasy/science fiction is a waste of time. Since it's my time, he doesn't really care though. DID show some interest when flipping through my copy of Deeds Not Words! Sister:(11) Is in my current D&D group. Friends: Two of my friends think it's evil and Satanic (I asked them if they ever read the books. They said no. I asked why it was Satanic. They said they didn't know, it "just was".). One of my friends just thinks it's boring. Another thinks D&D is "innacurate" and whoever wrote it must be stupid and evil :rolleyes:. My other friends are all in my gaming group (or don't even know/care that I game). [/QUOTE]
