    Was just talking to a friend today about the “satanic panic” around D&D in the 1980s, as I lived through that. Amazing there was so much pearl-clutching, I guess at the time people were just trying to find stuff to be aghast over, such as this and rock music. Twisted Sister and Kiss just look like theatre now.
