I remember some years ago, some guy was found dead somewhere in Sweden. No big deal, until the media got whiff of the fact that the guy was a Vampire: the Masquerade player. Media Frenzy ensured about his 'blood drinking', 'murder-glorifying' hobby, and droned on and on about the evil of roleplaying games for a couple of weeks.
Then it turned out that he was killed in a drug related kerfuffle and media interest dried up real quick.
*sigh*
I guess we should be thankful that he wasn't a Kult player. :p
I forgot all about the Vampire: The Masquerade hysteria. If they ever actually bothered to read the games they would realize that they were written by the "good" kids (grown up) who actually paid attention in school, particularly to their history, literature and social studies classes.
