Dragonbane in Publix Commercial

[Aldarc]

Dragonbane by Free League Publishing was spotted in a commercial for Publix, an employee-owned grocery chain found in the southeast of the USA.



According to Tomas Härenstam, Free League Publishing was first approached about using The One Ring in the advertisement. However, since that would have been a potential tricky legal issue, Tomas suggested that they use Dragonbane instead.

So that's why I can never find smaller-publisher games in the wild. I haven't been checking the grocery stores!

Super, duper awesome.

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G !!!

I love how the kid closes the curtains to create 'the mood'.

Pretty surprised they didn't just go with D&D, but cool that they did.

I would guess that WotC wanted more than they wanted to spend.

The only "Publix" branded business I know of is a storage unit company... as in, rent a 5×10' (1.6×3.2m) locker in a brick building. (www.publixselfstorage.com)

So, to me, this ad makes no sense. WTH does "feed your fandom" have to do with Publix?

Publix is a grocery store chain in the Southeastern US, at least. It's one of the places we shop.

I've only lived in the Pacific NW... Thanks for the context.
