D&D hits Soapland

[Yraen]

Folks? I was watching the Australian soap, Neighbours, this evening and D&D was featured. It seems that cheeky wheeler-dealer and former pubowner, Lou Carpenter, is a Dungeon Master for a bunch of kids at Erinsborough High. It was only featured for a couple of minutes (a long time in Soapland) but it was like Oh My Gawd! And I had to share it with you.

OK, I'm afraid to ask, but what is Passions?

It's a US soap-opera...

Now I have to go do some serious soul-searching on how/why I know that...

It sthe soap that Spike always watched on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That's the only reason I know of it

I'm not sure what's more disturbing; the fact that D&D was mentioned on Neighbours or that you were watching it...

No, we have to get on All My Children. Passions is third-rate, All My Children is only second-rate.

Look - it's on when I have my evening meal and the Missus likes it. But - yeah - I'm a bit embarrassed now that you mention it - about watching Neighbours, not the fact that it showed people playing D&D

At least it wasn't portrayed in a really bad light like some shows have done. I remember one in the Eighties which used the old "D&Ders are so messed up they'll kill themselves if their character dies" ploy. In - ahem! - Neighbours, it seemed almost like a filler scene.
