[QUOTE="Sage, post: 1109077, member: 13468"] I was introduced to D&D through my brother having about it in school, I don't think we ever got around to gaming though. Then I saw the 2nd edition DMG in our library and showed it to my brother, by given the cover and the booring content (I was 10 and didn't read much, and thought that the so-called "heroes" didn't look very hero-like) we put it down again. When we found the PH we were hooked, though :p My mom is very religious (as I am) and is canadian, so I think she got a little of the D&D is satanik thing, and was a little uneasy when we started playing. It was, however, her that had taken us through Narnia and the LotR, so she didn't have much to say. Anyway, after watching us game several times the only thing she had against it was the noise level :D Now she's even encouraging in our hobby (probably because I've made a lot of friends through it). My father accepts it but "just doesn't get it" and doesn't like me using (almost) all my time on it :D Of course, starting in the 90's and in Denmark probably helped. And boy, can I feel a steady increase in gamers every year in this country :) Sage [/QUOTE]
