J. D. Cronise, guitarist & lead vocalist for the heavy metal band The Sword is a gamer.

There is also a blog out there called dndwithpornstars, which details the gaming life of a guy who runs games with/for porn star gamers.

Chris hardwick
Sam witwicker (sp? The guy who plays the vampire on the American version of being human)
Steven Colbert

Also (I'm pretty sure .....) Joseph Gordon-levit made a comment in some interview about having played d&d when he was younger but didn't know that anyone still played the game. So not a 'current' rpger

I wonder if any of those famous folks are secret EN World posters? Probably not.

Well, as I mentioned before, one of them wasn't secret. John Rogers was jonrog1.

Last activity looks to have been in February last year.

Also, I distinctly remember that Gary Gygax was posting secretly until someone figured it out.

Actually, I wouldn't doubt it. I've been on other various boards, many motorcycle related, and we've ultimately found that well known journalists and racers were on them using pseudonyms. It's a very real possibility.

Yeah, I knew about the non-secret one! I guess if any of them are here and haven't outed themselves yet, they're not going to. I wonder how many of them specifically play D&D currently, as opposed to used to, or play mainly boardgames these days?

Zak Smith. He's also a successful artist. I first read about him in reference to his project where he made a painting for each page of Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow. MoMA owns some of his work.

Lots of writers --and not just the usual suspects/genre authors-- played D&D: Junot Diaz, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Sherman Alexie... I guessing Sam Lipsyte played, because his story in the New Yorker "The Dungeon Master" sure sounded authentic (if deranged).

I would assume they'd prefer to keep it quiet so they can participate in their hobby discussion, rather than get bogged down with "ooh your famous!" drama.

I realize that's kind of obvious, but it's one of the many benefits to some anonymity on the net. We all can be dogs together.
