I was born the same year the Chick tracks were released so I grew up on this side of the anti-d&d movement. However, I grew up and played d&d in a small town in NE Georgia where there were more churches than people. I knew to be careful who I told about my gaming hobbies to as most people only knew d&d from the hysteria from the decade before.

I even had one issue arise within my own family where d&d was blamed for my back talking and bad attitude. I WAS A TEENAGER! Not back talking a little would be weird I think. Parents over reacted. Luckily that passed quickly and they were mostly supportive of my hobby. The issue was that they didn’t try to play d&d or really learn much about it.

Fear of the unknown I think caused the majority of the anti-d&d panic.

Having been born in 1992, I missed the actual moral panic but I enjoy hearing about it due to my love of history.

I’ve only been DMing since the summer of 2010, so I am still a relative newcomer to RPGs.

Coming from a conservative old school church, I feared that I was an oddity as a christian and a gamer. Also I am Kargaroth a newer subscriber to the Dark Dungeons subreddit. I will try to start listening to your podcast more regularly once I get back to college and its unlimited data connection.
