Not long after the death of her son Patricia Pulling set up B.A.D.D. (Bothered About Dungeons and Dragons) an organization that set out to prove a link between role-playing games, suicide and Satanism.

During its years of activity B.A.D.D made many public accusations, assertions, and recommendations that one can, at best, consider questionable. For example: it recommended to United States law enforcement agencies in it's profile and questionnaire: "The Who What When Where and How of teen Satanism" that (amongst other things) officers "Keep an open mind", "Stay objective", but also that "If individual is involved in satanic activity, he/she will deny a great deal to protect other members of the group as well as the satanic philosophy". Which is the same as saying: Keep an open mind but don't believe anything they say.

In 1989 Patricia Pulling published "The Devil's Web: Who Is Stalking Your Children for Satan?" a book which seems (please note: I have not read this book, only its reviews, the book is currently out of print) to warn parents and society in general of the dangers inherent in allowing children to listen to heavy metal music, and play role-playing games, and that allowing children to do so could lead to schizophrenia, Satanism, murder, and suicide.

In 1990 Michael A. Stackpole, a novelist and game designer, published a review of Patricia Pulling and B.A.D.D.'s activities in which he described the book as: "a monument to illogical thinking and innuendo". I recommend reading his paper [ see references ].

On October 15 1997, Pat Pulling, 47, died of cancer in Richmond, Virginia. B.A.D.D. is currently inactive.
