<p>While my parents were suspicious about me "not stopping to play games though he grows up", they got used to it over the years, going from criticising to ignoring to accepting and to respecting in the following decades (I guess my enthusiasm and engagement in producing own rpgs, making money with it, organizing some CONs, helping some publishers, etc. helped them changing their mind). </p>
<p>I did NEVER stumbled over any religious b&•+~@+~ concerning my favorite past-time, though sometimes I would like to meet one of those fanatics (being a quite verbal-aggressive atheist ... this would be fun).</p>
<p>I never kept my hobby hidden - some people do but I really don't care what co-workers or friends think about it. Once in my life, I had a little weird experience when I had a new job - my new bosses asked me, if I like the new town where I moved into for the job, and if I already met some people. I told them, that I had the opportunity to get to know some other roleplayers in advance via an online message board ... some days later they entered my bureau looking quite frightened, backs to the wall, FAR away from me and asked "<name>, what exactly are you doing in your role playing games?" I told them that we sit around a table, experiencing a story together using dice and pen and paper (and chips and beer). "But" they asked "you are not going outside, wearing costumes?" No, I said, there are those who do, but we are just lazy pen & paper people ... then they told me what the sister of one of them had told them: She was just back from some years in the USA and had heard stories about cat-killing, devil-worshipping, cemetery-going roleplayers who do weird rituals and are dangerous. </p>
<p>… if they had heard this lie before my work started, I would probably never have gotten the Job I still have since 14 years …</p>Here in germany, nobody talked about any satanic influence in gaming back in the early/mid 80s, when I started gaming.

GURPS Traveller - best system, best "real" technology imho - it suxx enormously at the non-metric system, what a *$%§ idea (cubic-inches makes my head hurt). Mongoose is good, but by far not complete enough - and the layout is one of the worst I have seen in the last years. (except maybe the new judges guild books, they are worse).
TNE has a good system, but the background was never my kind of traveller.gurps2008-10-01T13:41:48ZRe: Forums: Gamer Connection: Players needed PHD's Call of Cthulhu PBP 2gurpshttps://paizo.com/threads/rzs2iu6q?Players-needed-PHDs-Call-of-Cthulhu-PBP-2#162008-10-01T10:14:51Z2008-10-01T10:14:50Z<p>I'm interested in joining - BUT - I know a lot of the published adventures, so if you would be so kind to post or mail the name of the adventure you are going to play ...</p>
