[QUOTE="R_Chance, post: 8744162, member: 55149"] I was too old to get the Satanic Panic. I was in high school in the mid 70s when I started playing D&D. People thought we were odd because we played board war games and miniatures. D&D was just another game. No panic in it. By the time the Panic cropped up I was a college student / grad student and we could ignore it. I did run into it in the mid to late 90s when I was advising the game club at the high school I worked at. A couple of mothers were worried about it. I explained that the players were the heroes / good guys and the villains (vampires, demons, etc.) were the bad guys. They went away happy (and their students continued to play). Given I was working in the most religiously conservative school in the district I guess I got off easy. [I]edit[/I] Thinking about it I was lucky. My parents valued reading and imagination. My principal as a teacher was fine with it (and runs the entire district now). Definitely could have been worse. [/QUOTE]
