Day 17: What was the first time that you heard that D&D was “evil”?
Besides the ambient “weirdo satanist wannabes play D&D” idea that all kids heard in the ‘90s, I have yet to have a real conversation about it to this day. As I started the hobby as an adult I was only surrounded by enthusiasts that understood the hobby for it was. I did have a hilarious conversation with my mother when I started playing. She was no doubt having flashbacks to Mazes & Monsters.
My first brush with an earnest assertion that D&D was evil was reading Jack Chick’s 1984 comic Dark Dungeons. You should stop whatever you’re doing and read it now. Brace yourself for ignorance!
