  • And this time we're looking at another Canadian Broadcasting Company piece names "Bothered About Dungeons and Dragons in 1985", where we meet some familiar faces and hear some familiar stories, it's almost as if they didn't have much real material on D&D.

    Love this post!!, I was shown this broadcast by my church elders in Canada as a demonized game. 😂 I hooted then, as I only played star wars at the time and told them "I don't have d&d money$" This was HUGE! Nostalgia.
    Thank you!😅

      These videos are just so weird to me. Here in Scotland there was no satanic panic, no one was claiming that D&D led to the devil. I even remember playing in a church hall back in the 80's, without the vicar batting an eyelid as we were just kids playing a board game.
      If you were a player then people did look down on you, as the only acceptable game for a teenager was Football, and if you were playing D&D then you might as well say you were playing Snakes and Ladders or some other childish game. But these videos are a total glimpse for me into an alternate world I never experienced which I find fascinating.

      In some ways I feel sorry for her. She was a mum just trying to find sense in the death of her kid, but she really took that beyond what is acceptable with a decade (and more) long crusade.

    I went to Catholic school in Vancouver during the Satanic panic. We played AD&D everyday after school and the monks couldn’t care less

    They will do anything that brings in views, but it also encourages kids to try it out! The Satanic Panic was what made D&D so popular!

      I must make a video on the James Dallas Egbert III case, and that really kickstarted the Satanic Panic. The assumptions in the search for him, led to everything which came later, even though they were proven wrong when he was found. But because it suited their aims, the lies were repeated for decades.

      You're quite right, the members of BADD were few, but they made so much noise they provoked endless interviews and news segments for over a decade.
