Always good to see gaming getting positive press. The quote there at the end really does sum it all up--if you're having fun, you win.


Aside: Anyone else like the fact that they're playing in classroom E6?

A good find. I like to see D&D in the news without it being either bashing the game or completely misunderstand it.

Is it bad that, while capable of appreciating some positive PR for the hobby, I'm bothered by the fact that he doesn't know that die is the singular and dice is plural?

What's wrong with me?

 

[Mark CMG]

Despite the die/dice thing, still a nice positive piece.

I would refine this. If you're not enjoying you're time playing then there is a problem. Fun isn't always the goal. Being creeper/freaked/scared out of you're mind may not be considered fun but t shore can be enjoyable. Slight distinction but important.

Do RPGs ever get bad press? I know it used to, but I'm not sure I've ever seen a press article demonize it. I've seen some cluelessness here and there, but never talking badly off it, as such.

They only seems to get bad press when someone who plays RPGs also happens to purchase a sword and cut someone up. And rather than blame the mental state of the sword-wielder they try to lay blame on the RPGs as if there were a causal relationship and as if no one died by the sword prior to 1974.

Ask your grandmother what D&D is and then asker what world of darkness is. You'll see which system has more press.

Oh and remember the old slogan, "there's no such thing as bad publicity".

WoD gets surprising amount of press here, but mainly because of the CCP connection.

Well, old or not, that's just nonsense. Ask Gary Glitter.
