Another example of D&D in the mainstream

Quasqueton · Dec 18, 2003

Last night, on my way home from work, I heard a DJ talking about the latest Lord of the Rings movie. He mentioned how RotK was already getting great reviews.

He said, "Pick your girlfriend up and go see this movie."

Then he added, "And call your Dungeon Master to see if he wants to go with you."

And hey, if you read between the lines, it is a positive remark - he's indicating that a typical gamer DOES have a girlfriend (unlike past stereotypes of living in one's parents' basement...)

You'll note that the casual game player has a girlfriend. His dungeonmaster pal tags along.

It's sad, but true, that I actually went to see the film with my Dungeon Master instead of my girlfriend.

Oh, well, I guess I'll have to wait until the DVD comes out, so I can sit her through nine hours of cinematic goodness.

Girlfriend?

I think I remember what one of those is.

I'm planning to go see it with my DM instead of my wife... but then, my wife can't stomach a 3 1/2 hour movie, no matter WHAT the subject.

I saw it with my wife... but I'll see it again with my GM tomorrow night!

Further, I have to confess that my girlfriend hasn't read the books, nor seen the movies. Otherwise she's cool.

I saw it with my DM as well as the others in our group.

Also Howard Stern had a lengthy discussion on D&D earlier this as well. Though it was not very positive.

Saw it with my wife last night, and I am her GM....

My players are on their own....
