Read on.2) The game nearly ended in my area. Stores owners were coaxed by zealots into not offering the books anymore (there was no 100% Hobby stores at that time). It took me, to go to church (as a young teenager) to explain what the game was truly about. So yep, it did not ended but even TSR caved in and changed Devils and Demons because the treath was real.In my area we were very lucky that I was both head of class and that I was also one of the rare altar sever that could answer the mass in latin. This gave me a lot more credential to the zealots and it appeased them (the other vocals about the hobby were in the heavy metal fashion whereas I was the perfect little boy every one wanted...) But it took more than one session of discussion and there were a few months in which we missed out on many products that TSR was getting out at the time. And it happened that we were not alone. We heard from other area where the game simply ceased for a few years until the panic finaly disapeared. I still don't know if the arrival of cable TV had anything to do with it...This is also why I want my evil to be evil. No questions asked, it is easy and simple. Bad experiences with gray. Nearly lost the hobby. Been there, done that and suffered for it. I am very cautious of "offended" people where I see no reasons to be.On an other note.For evil orcs in the setting. Greyhawk is one of them. Yes, as stated earlier, Robilar had an orc servant, but Robilar was evil (again stated previously). The original D&D world campaign is also one of them.</blockquote>
