I meant to post this the other day but due to the joys of password rests and spam filters I've only just regained access.

Anyway, back to the point.
This article on the BBC News Magazine site brought back a few memories. Especially being told that I was a Satanist and my soul would be forever dammed because I played D&D!  Smiley

Enjoy.

I missed most of this fun even thought I went to a very christian school for a large part of it and only became aware of it in retrospect, my nostalgia for the 80's is more that it and the back end of the 1970's was the golden age of role playing before life got in the way and had me doing fun stuff like book keeping and unbugering buggered computers instead,
