D&D panic thread at RPG.net

Go to this site and click on the "forums" button. Look for the "RPG Spotlight: Dungeons & Dragons/Fantasy D20" section and click on it. There you should see a thread called "The BBC & the 1980's D&D panic" so take a look at the thread. There are some interesting posts about RPG persecution. The posts from Canadians and South Africans were interesting since I did not expect to hear of game-bashing from them. Of course, the first post has the link to the BBC article.

There's another discussion thread about the BBC article on RPGGeek.com:

A short while ago somebody also linked to the BADD pamphlet scanned on
the Escapist website:

Jonas,

Thanks for the link.

Just wanted to mention to the group, in case anyone is unaware, that the
Dark Dungeons movie is coming out soon.

While this is being made in a Stephen Colbert style "so serious it's funny"
manner, I fully expect that in accordance to Poe's Law, at least some
non-gamers will take it at face value as a serious work.
