(99% are going to say yes) Then say, "What do you think of those people who go to games with their whole body painted in the team colors?"RPGs are made fun of mostly because they are unknown. It makes them easy targets. It's gotten a bit better (I'm 42, this is my 25th year of D&D), or maybe I just don't hang around the "mundanes" as much as I used to.I have a group where the women players outnumber the men, I have 2 conservative Christians in the group, I have a great gaming store I can go to, I have a good-paying job as a programmer (so I can buy all sorts of cool gaming stuff), am married to a wonderful woman who started gaming once I introduced her to it, and I'm old enough to come to the realization that most of the humans walking around on this ball are insensitive, ignorant dolts.No, I'm not Cynical, I'm Experienced. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> I've been where you are, kid. It's a tough road, but don't let anyone mold you into something you don't want to be. And believe me, it's more important to be true to yourself, and enjoy this fleeting thing called your life, than it is to be "Cool". Peace, out.</blockquote>
