It sounds horribly as if a single senior officer has a 'bee in his bonnet'
about it rather than being anything serious.
Possibly his daughter was seduced by a game player...
Chances are that many of the nerds and 'pointy heads' modern intelligence

And isn't D&D a bit 'eighties' anyway? Do kids actually play 'paper and
pencil' games these days?
