Carolina I think) about a youngster who had committed suicide. Aparently he played D&D at school quite a bit, so of course everyone has decided that D&D is to blame for his death. A group of parents is now trying to have D&D banned from the school. Unfortunately, I don't think this kind of reactionism is all that uncommon. Give the principal of the school credit though, as he has been supporting the game all the way. -- Bruce Gamble - abgamble@water.UUCP
