I love the just-out-of-the-70s mustache. We are all creatures of our time.

I find it funny, that were I have seen this as a teen, I would have been delighted with the re-enactment. And now, I am like: "No, don't go to the re-enactment - keep the camera on the real-life table!"

Always fun to see a sneak peek at the D&D phenomenon of back then!

Wow, watching that video takes me back! Sigh...

Two things strike me about it immediately. 1 - It's surprisingly even-handed and non-judgmental. 2 - The line about "The Dungeons and Dragons player that died in the sewers of Chicago," which I assume refers to James Dallas Eggbert III, is a reminder of the pre-internet era, when information was not so readily available, and things could easily get garbled like this.
Also, that re-enactment video is pure gold. I feel like I'm watching a prequel to The Gamers series.

Yeah, I am definitely showing this to my group next session!
It reminds me of a bunch of my friends/former players who went the LARP route...
