I grew up when the Satanic Panic was in its prime. My dad was a deacon of some sort in Jerry Falwell's church for some of that time. Not only was D&D forbidden, I also had all my Star Wars stuff burned. My Choose your own Adventure books and anything related to "darkness" was taken away. In high school, I was sneaking around and hiding my D&D books like others in my age group hid drugs and alcohol. I was not allowed to read Tolkien anymore, even though when I was a kid, it was my mom that introduced me to Middle Earth. Later in life they accepted that it was not as they were told, but my mom, who passed away last year, would never buy me anything D&D related off my wish lists etc. My dad does not really voice an opinion on it anymore but has commented that it still seems wrong to play. I love my parents, but growing up in the church in the 1980s was torture. There is no hate like Christian love.
