I'm glad to see a news source reflecting on roleplaying games in a positive light (that's a refreshing change ). I never inserted on URL into a post before, but I'll give it a try. Hopefully I did this right...

Role-playing games pull reluctant school kids into a supportive crowd / The Christian Science Monitor - CSMonitor.com

edit-- Oops, I noticed the source I pointed to is the Christain Science Monitor. I'm not intending this thread to be used to discuss religion or anything like that. I was looking at the content of the article. From what I understand, the CSM is a well-respected world news source based in the US.

FWIW, CSM is a pretty well regarded and unbiased paper. Certainly quoting them is no more introducing politics than quoting from something like the Arkansas Democrat.

The Christian Science Monitor is not religiously partisan so there is no need to worry.

I honestly do not think I have ever read a more positive article about D&D and RPGs in a mainstream newspaper.

That would be "Evar". As in never once in 35 years have I read an article as positive as that one.

Gary and Dave would be justifiably proud. In fairness though, I think the real credit in this case goes to the proprietors of The Game Loft.
