It doesn't get much worse than this!

I recall years ago (I'm also an Old Farte TM) an episode of Taggart where they encountered a group of RPGers as part of their murder investigation. I was most impressed with how the show deconstructed a lot of the "signing pacts with Satan" and "dangerous loony" prejudices that were levelled against RPGs/RPGers back then.

Mind you, Taggart was like that - they'd do their research then show the reality of the group contrasted against the stereotypes/prejudices. Usually by having someone asking the questions that the bigots never ask but would dispel the myth if they did. (Probably why the bigots don't ask the questions, actually - who wants to have their lovely myth - and "justification" for acting like an utter arse - dispelled?)

Taggart! I never missed that show when I lived in the UK. I remember asking my wife, "who are the Poliss?"

XPs coming right up for that bit of nostalgia.

Thank you, and you're welcome. Miss that show, actually.
