>One told us that at the Dungeons and Dragons “factory,” there was a witch’s hut in the forest nearby. Before each set was packaged for shipping they were all sent out to her, where she personally dedicated them to Satan. I'm always saddened by people who so very desperately want something - attention, to feel in power, to feel better informed than others, etc - that they'll buy into and repeat these conspiracy theories. In the 80s I used to play D & D at a game store that hosted an event and we'd start Friday night and on a really rollicking session go through until dawn. It was amazing. IMHO the camaraderie, friendship and entertainment that came from a bunch of people playing pretend for a few hours was what D & D was meant to be. That some people projected their own weird fantasies of darkness and evil onto a game just makes me what goes on in their heads. The only darkness and evil in our game was occasional bad guys. Except that one guy who played a Chaotic Evil wizard. Eventually the GM added game rules that warned everyone prior to his casting anything, particularly behind the party. But even that was all in good fun.
