Two more D&D articles

[NewJeffCT]

Granted, it's the crappy Boston Herald, but another 2 articles about the 30 year anniversary of D&D and its influence on society. You have to hit the internal link in the first article for the 2nd article...


Thirty years after the introduction of Dungeons & Dragons, the iconic role-playing game may have finally shed its reputation as the realm of basement-dwelling, misfit geeks.

Those D&D ``misfits'' have grown up to produce TV shows and movies, write best-selling fiction and create video games. Some even helped develop a little something called the Web.

D&D sparked the now billion-dollar role-playing game industry and left a mark on fantasy fiction and the electronic game market.

Indeed, in a post-Xena world awash with Tolkien-based blockbusters and Hogwarts pupils, a game about outwitting goblins or finding a treasure seems so totally, well, mainstream.
