The Satanic Panic was probably the best thing to ever happen to Dungeons & Dragons. It took an obscure, niche game and shined a national spotlight on it. Sales quadrupled for TSR, going from $2.3 million in 1979 to $8.7 million by the end of 1980 D&D was showcased in major catalogs like the Sears.

Okay, the panic might have popularized it, but I sure got tired of explaining to people that my game didn't involve going down into the sewers with handguns and butcher knives.
