I remember when Dungeons & Dragons first started to get noticed by the media (Yeah, I'm that old), and people were freaking out about it. There was even a movie about it, called Mazes and Monsters, in which Tom Hanks has a psychotic breakdown because he rolled too many dice or something. It's sadly hilarious.

That's kind of the "Mazes and Monsters" Issue all over again, isn't it? Considering the violence in our games (All permissible in the fantasy societies of the games, of course), I'd have to call the police to have them committed to an institution for some serious therapy for personality disassociation. I have too many swords and other things that they would try to get a hold of for anyone's safety. I hope I could talk them down; it's kind of a scary scenario.
