Today's entry is the first in a series—the series of the Satanic Panic. In the decades of the 80s and 90s America was rife with accusations around satanic rituals and murders brought on by the power of the devil. In recent years Stranger Things, Critical Role and other pop culture media have increased the visability of D&D. Role playing games have not always been so well recieved. This entry focuses on the demonization of Dungeons and Dragons. Tabletop role-playing games and their connections to suicide and murder! Join us for another entry into this our Macabrepedia.
