[QUOTE="Iry, post: 7997600, member: 6777378"] Everyone stayed away from her house. My buddy loved to play D&D on the down low with us, but his mother not only insisted her son would never play a game like that, she proudly declared she would burn any books she found. It was real hard to explain why he kept needing to hang out with us after school, and our reasons got increasingly bizarre. Finally she got suspicious and walked in on us all playing at MY house. We didn't lock our doors back then, you see. She loses her naughty word, gathers up my books, and throws them in my backyard. Then she spins around and starts demanding to know where our matches were! My dad finally comes out to see what the hell is going on. Friends mother announces that she caught us playing "that demon game" and was about to burn the books. Bad move. My father got me into D&D with a little computer game called Pool of Radiance in 1986. He immediately goes full drill sergeant mode on her, demands she march her ass off his property before he calls the cops, and tells her we're learning to smite evil not hide from it! That last part was a fib, but that's how my dad rolls. She was dumbfounded. Absolute silence reigned while she just retreated from our house. Months later, she still insisted she would burn the books if she ever found them in her house... but she never stopped her son from coming over and playing with us. [/QUOTE]
