It never happened to me that someone had a reaction at all when they saw my D&D books: usually most of the people of my age either have no idea of what a RPG is (and I sincerely tell them what it is, i.e. simply a game), or they have played it a couple of times, someone liked it and someone not, just as any other kind of game.Usually, at least in Italy, the majority of young men like playing something, being it RPG, computer games, the pool or whatever, while the majority of young women prefer not to, but not necessarily dislike attending a gaming evening and just have fun watching.Playing a RPG is just like any other hobby: usually people don't think it's stupid to collect stamps, to build model airplanes, to go hunting/fishing, or spending whole nights in front of a playstation, and effectively there is no reason to believe a RPG is worse than the others. This is not just what I think; it's what it seems to me that mostly everyone think around here. Having anything else to do than watch TV all the evenings is supposed to be some kind of improvement to one's time. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
