[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 1935954, member: 3649"] We're mainly a bunch of computer geeks with a Pharm.D and a bookseller thrown in to take the curse off it. We'd probably be a good example, though not to the 'worried about the occult' crowd if we were in a magic-heavy game or playing something like Call of Cthulhu, Urban Arcana, etc. We have gotten the occassional odd comment from observers. For many years we played at my kitchen table. My aunt Mag was living with us at the time; she and Mom would sit in the den and watch TV while we all gamed. There was just a dry bar dividing the areas, so they could hear and see everything. One of the players had a character whose grandmother was one of the main campaign villains at the time. He tried to tell the rest of the party what a terrible person she was and cited several examples over the next few weeks. After we wrapped up one night and I was cleaning the gaming area, Mom comes over to me and says, "I thought Dan's grandmother was dead." "She is, she died a long time ago." "Oh, so he's talking about his character then, right?" "Oh. Yeah." "Oh, good. Aunt Mag was asking me about that. She turned to me at lunch and said 'My goodness, that Dan boy certainly doesn't like his grandmother, does he? Well, I don't blame him! Do you think she really killed his father?' " [/QUOTE]
