[QUOTE="Zelgadas, post: 1527206, member: 17044"] [b]D&D and drugs[/b] I've seen a couple of mentions in various articles about the relationship between D&D and drugs, and I figured I'd just add my own experience. I got into D&D in high school. There were two friends who I regularly gamed with, and this meant that we were inside, in someone's house, not doing drugs. Eventually, both friends that I gamed with started doing drugs; predictable, their interest in D&D fell of about that time. Myself, I stuck with D&D, and found other people to game with. If my friends (at the time) and I hadn't played D&D every day, I probably would have been doing drugs with them. In a very real way, D&D kept me off of drugs; I was far more interested in orcs and THAC0 than in marijuana and crystal meth. Now it's about six or seven years later, and D&D is still having a profoundly positive influence on my life. They guy that I started playing with after my gaming group turned to drugs is going to be the best man at my wedding. I've been published three times in PDF, and I've got three more jobs in the works. I've found that I define myself as a D&D geek, and that makes me proud. Heck, just look at all of the people posting on this thread, all the people in this community. There's all the 'good' you need. [/QUOTE]
