We had an official club called "Strategic Games Club" in my high school. We'd meet after school once a week and play D&D. One day 1995, our sponsoring teacher oddly started trying to steer us into playing chess. We kept refusing. Eventually she came clean and told us someone complained and there were new rules... our games could no longer contain any references to monsters, demons, killing, or magic. There could also be no games of Magic the Gathering (which was new at the time, and no one in the club was playing yet). The club instantly folded. We never heard another word about what precipitated it. Seemed pretty late in the game for D&D moral panic, and this was a pretty liberal Chicago suburban school district.
