[QUOTE="Eternalknight, post: 160718, member: 1075"] Point well taken about the phrasing the question better. The reason I am interested is that I started playing D&D in 1990. Back then, various relatives tried to tell me that D&D was evil and would lead me to do bad things. One even said that within 2 years I'd be doing all kinds of drugs, and would be living on the streets stealing off people to survive. None of them are anywhere close to being religious. They sited various incindents that happened in the States as their "proof". That's why I'm interested. Here in Australia, role-playing is not such a big hit (in my experience, although popularity is on the rise);infact, as of late, D&D isn't even really considered to be geeky. A news bulletin about 6 months ago even did a thing on Warhammer and D&D, and a Buffy marathon on pay TV was even sponsered by Magic. Therefore, we don't here much about the evils of role-playing. Religion isn't a big thing in this country, as it is in the States. That is why I'm interested. I didn't know there had been any incidents lately; I would like to know what they were though. Same as the 80s stuff. [/QUOTE]
