    Perceptive of you I must confess.  It was a public game.  Six DMs in a class room in 1978 on a Friday during "Club" hour.  The player's name is Keith Griffin, and he is both highly inteligent, and disruptive.  More Specifically he was the class clown.  
     This was before anyone really knew what D&D was and we successfully lobied to get it inclued in the "Club" list.  So for that one year D&D was officially sanctioned by the Louisiana public education system.  That summer Fundamentalist preachers began to speak out against D&D and the club was not allowed the following year.
     I beleive role playing games have been a private, living room, by-invitation-only experience ever since.  I can think of a few exceptions like when we used to reserve the public Library's meeting rooms for ''Runequest'', or the Physics lab at LSU during our ''Traveler'' days.  Even in those cases we were never meeting someone for the first time at the same moment we were GMing them, or playing in their Campaign.
