[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 7966597, member: 6785785"] I had two weird experiences as a young kid in the 80s and playing D&D. One kid in the neighborhood was not allowed to play D&D, so we had to always be "playing Marvel" when he was involved. His parents were particularly religious and they bought into some of the fear. The second was I had a CCD teacher (this is like Catholic school class for kids who don't actually go to Catholic school, and it was one evening a week) who told us a story about how he went to a book burning and that they burned D&D books and he heard the screams of the demons inside the books as they burned. I said "No you didn't" and then got sent to the office for arguing. My folks were pissed when they picked me up that night....until I was able to explain a bit. Once I mentioned book burning, my Dad suddenly stopped and listened. Then he heard about the "screams" and just like that I was no longer in trouble. I don't quite recall if I was moved to a new class or if I didn't go to CCD class for the rest of that school year, but I never had to go to that teacher's class again, I remember that. People can be really bonkers. [/QUOTE]
