[CAR-PGa] Tucson Weekly’s Nostalgia = Classic D&D Paranoia

(Cut and pasted from The Escapist Blog - www.theescapist.com/blog )

The Tucson Weekly's Nostalgia feature brings back a cover story from
25 years ago - "Dungeons & Dragons: Playing With Fire?"

"Many of the fantasy and role-playing games are smack in the middle of
the occult, and that's the truth," says Jack Gracie. Gracie is the
spokesman for Tucson's Christian Awareness Fellowship, a "non-profit
interdenominational Christian group primarily devoted to educating the
body of Christ concerning the cults and the occult."

"In these games, kids are taught how to invoke demons and thinks like
that. And now it has gone beyond a game."

Sadly, they don't reprint the entire article, so we don't know how
balanced the story is. But given the time period, I think we could
make an educated guess. If anyone has a copy of the full story, please
let me know.
