[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8724753, member: 2209"] In Junior High one of my friends in my gaming group got permission to have a room for a Roleplaying Games elective. It was a small local town school in New England, my grade had 60 people. The only people who signed up for it at one point was my gaming group who had already been playing for years so we just used it as a chance to have some concentrated RPG time during school instead of just talking over Warhammer stuff or whatever at lunch or reading D&D books or Dragon magazine during study hall. I remember we did TMNT and GURPS in the elective. I do remember some older kids running 1e games at first though, I played a druid going through [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17049/I3-Pharoah-1e?affiliate_id=17596']I3 Pharaoh[/URL]. In high school someone started up an RPG club and I went to two meetings and played Rolemaster and 1e D&D but then mostly stuck with weekend and summer games with my gaming group who were mostly not at the same school. No t-shirts in either case. I had thought there was not much Satanic panic stuff in my area, my parents had gotten me and my younger brother the Moldvay Basic Set when I was 10 after years of my showing a lot of interst in classical and Norse myths plus fantasy novels and no real negatives popped up in the time period. I found out recently my mom had been fairly dead set against getting us D&D, with concerns about bad influences and such, until she saw my dyslexic younger brother's interest in it and she saw it as a way to get him voluntarily reading. With him being into it she was all about getting him more of the same type of stuff that he would enthusiastically read on his own. [/QUOTE]
