[QUOTE="GrimCo, post: 9562942, member: 7044462"] From parents- none. My mom even bought me my first VtM books ( green cover with red rose looked romantic to her). They even thought it was nice. I would spend most of Saturday at my friends house. They knew where i was, with whom i was and they were happy that i was spending time socializing and doing something creative. If it's significant, i was raised in Roman Catholic household like almost all of my friends ( in a country with 87% Roman Catholics and some 6% Orthodox ones). First copy of Baldurs Gate, my gateway into D&D, i got from young Dominican friar at our local church. He was holding catechism in preparation for confirmation sacrament, and trough talk we find our shared love for Tolkien, fantasy and heavy metal. So i got Baldurs Gate game and some Metallica and Slayer CDs form him. God bless him. In school, very little. I'm no slouch when it comes to verbal sparring. So when someone poked fun of my love for nerd stuff, i poked fun at stuff they liked. It also helped that i was into combat sports since young age ( 4 years of greco roman wrestling and 4 years of judo in elementary, plus karate in parallel for 5 years) so few atempts of more agressive bullying from peers were settled behind school. In HS, only one kid from my class was douche about it. We settled it outside of school. Head and arm throw on concrete floor are primo way to stop a-holes. [/QUOTE]
