They've played D&D many times on the show


Whether all of those guest stars will actually play the game is not known. A short teaser was released on Twitter a couple of days ago. Some of them we know are tabletop gamers (Wheaton, Manganiello), and Manganiello is an avid D&D superfan.

The date of the episode is not yet confirmed, but the show is halfway through its final season, so it can't be too far off.

How refreshing, 3 of 6 comments with a negative spin!

How about we we appreciate what many think is a funny show mentioning the characters of the show being D&D fans and having it in any way on a show with such national reach is a good thing. Or we can complain that they are using a 4e dm screen or some other tidbit...try a little positivity, it’s contagious more so than the negative stuff.

Im looking forwatd to it, the Santa Christmas dnd episode was fun stuff too.

I’d be a lot more excited if this happened on a show that didn’t present as horrendously negative of a portrayal of a community I identify with.

Or if Shatner were in any way still relevant or respectable.

It never ceases to amaze me how people who identify as nerds profess to love this show, let alone tolerate it.

I like the show quite a lot, and I don't think it presents a negative portrayal of nerds or D&D.
I also love Shatner and think he's plenty relevant and I give him respect. He just came out with a Christmas album in fact, and my friend can be heard on it!
I also like sports.
I also liked Twlight.

Isn't it nice that this is a hobby that attracts people with a variety of tastes, and we don't gatekeep who is and is not allowed to show D&D being played, or like D&D?
