I played D&D a lot from about 1982-1989 with the neighborhood kids. None of us fit the stereotype for D&D kids. The parents didn't think anything of it at first until all this media stuff. Some parents stopped allowing their kids to come and play because of it. I recall my mother taking me aside to talk to me about the game. I distinctly remember her saying that "some people say that game is evil." I don't recall what I said in response but she seemed satisfied and that was the last time she ever asked me about D&D. I even got the Fiend Folio for Christmas that year. I have to say the darker and scarier the modules, the more into them we were. We must have played and replayed Ravenloft dozens of times. We made up our own versions to it.
