[QUOTE="Caspian Moon Prince, post: 1525973, member: 12145"] Years ago, several friends in my gaming group became EXTREMELY religous to the point of being nutcases, not as bad as ol Chick but to the point they called D&D evil...and they played the game for years. Anyways, this caused a big schism in our groups that left it down to two members(my best friend and me). Shortly afterwards my mother started thinking that my few(very few) teen age rebellous acts were because of D&D and soon said I wasn't to play it. I still did saying I was playing other rpgs, which she didn't have a problem with, and eventually convinced her otherwise. She was more excited that I was when I was getting published for the first time(down in the signature). Also, one of the people from that group eventually calmed down and has since played again on occassions. That was slightly off-topic, but that was just to show some points in my life where people thinking D&D is evil has influenced my life. Besided my friends that left, most people, including my mother, have only heard the "bad parts" of D&D. Most will come around if it is explained to them using facts. I did, and it really helped. D&D, and rpgs in general, are games that really expand a person's horizons. I have learned a lot from playing and learning about roleplaying games. There truly is no type of game better IMO. [/QUOTE]
