It was totally a thing during the satanic panic. There's an infamous Chick Tract about d&d that I was genuinely given by cult missionaries when I was a kid.

Don't forget Tom Hanks first leading role in the movie Mazes and Monsters, originally titled Dungeons & Dragons, but forced to change it when TSR sued them.
This is parody, right ?
The Sithrak tracts are much more informative anyway

Here I go down the oglaf hole 😏 again
Chick tracks all feel like a parody of reality, the man was very disturbed, there's a whole track about a seemingly normal couple and their seven year old daughter, and when missionaries come teach them about Jesus they ask if it's wrong that they sexually abuse their daughter, after being told that it is in fact wrong, but luckily they can be totally forgiven through Jesus, they decide to be Christians and say the magic words that make you saved, then they promise their daughter to stop abusing her, and all of this is played like it's really wonderful Jesus is here to save people who molest their kids for years from consequences.
Wtf
Sadly, no. It was quite real. I was given some while trick or treating as a kid.
