[QUOTE="JDragon, post: 1107445, member: 780"] Well, I along with the rest had some what similar experiences growing up. With my parents divorced and both remarried I spent most of my time in Ca with my mom & step-dad, visting my dad & step-mom in Texas over the summer and at x-mas. Well home in Ca, D&D was all good, and my parents liked it as it got me interested in reading, & got me away from the TV, ect. But the summers were bad, my step-mom had this real problem with my gaming, mainly coming from the D&D is evil stuff. I was not allowed to take the books out of my room or show my step brother any thing, as she was affraid it would corrupt him and make him evil. (which now 10 years later he is the one having spent time in jail.) Of coarse this was along with some other wacked out ideas she had, so who knows. Now my grandparents (living in TX also) were hearing about all this ranting my step-mom was doing and wanted to check it out. But instead of just listening to what others were saying my grandfather took the time to read thru part of the books (the was the basic set red box) himself and saw it was just a game, (he had always been a big board game player so I think that helped) so my books and such were never a problem at their place. More recently one of the guys I play with has several nephews he knows would love to play, but his sister has a problem with the wizard/warlock so it will probably not happen untill they are over 18. :( [/QUOTE]
