[QUOTE="Arbiter of Wyrms, post: 2497774, member: 18021"] Yeah, I know. If it comes right down to it, I can forego the package and go on advocating WotC's products for free to help grow the hobby. I don't know why I feel like I'm getting away with something - I'm really not. I'm just stoked that this is available to help me encourage students who need a genre that speaks to them or those who need "interactive literature." I think that this program is great for eveyone involved. [B]Teachers win[/B] because we get more resources to help our students without further straining our budgets. [B]Wizards wins[/B] because they get educators to advertise to exactly the audience they want to target, and they get this advertising cheaply. [B]Librarians win[/B] because 1) people are enjoying literature 2) people get to see that libraries are interested in providing all sorts of valuable programs to just about anyone, and for free 3) people are getting smarter 4) it doesn't come out of their budget and 5) (and this is conjecture based on my theory that most Librarians represent the next stage of human evolution) More people are exposed to the twin wonderlands that are literature and mathematics, enriching the lives of those who might one day pay taxes and make private donations by teaching them how to enjoy learning, use printed reference material, and play nicely together without being totally inept, mathematically. [B]Adolescents win[/B] because they get a safe and positive environment in which to learn D&D and develop an appreciation for general scholarship. Too often, school isn't fun, and, in fact, some schools actively discourage fun on the reasoning that they believe it is exclusive to learning. Learning and fun go hand in hand and I believe that D&D players know that while too many non-gamers don't. [/QUOTE]
