"I now work as a consultant for Dungeons & Dragons, which is the job that I wanted as a kid, and, as a result of that relationship, I wrote some material for their adventure module that will get released next year."

Well, that's interesting.

The wording suggests that he is contributing material to an actual book release. We will certainly find out more in time, but very interesting bit of info.

Why people like RPGs? Now we are used to videogames and movies (Warcraft or Lords of the Rings), you are using your imagination, creating new stories, you are with your friends, and you are learning social skills, to risk, to face challenges, sometimes you fail and other times you sucess, and then you get more self-confidence, and that is very importat for a teenage.
