I don't hide it, but I don't go around telling students or fellow lecturers about how cool my 4th level Thief PC Larsenio Roguespierre is, either.I occasionally facebook-favourite D&D related stuff, and I'm friends with a bunch of colleagues & staff on facebook. And I'll occasionally mention it to fellow lecturers if we're discussing weekend plans. But I don't talk about D&D with my undergrad students. I need them to look up to me a wee bit.

I'm more cynical there. Day 1, tutorial 1 - co-design the tutorial. Followed fairly shortly by the nuclear facility you're standing in has been hit by an earthquake. How many lives can you save on three sides for Monday? (Almost everyone's populations and PC die horribly - or whatever the situation is - at the start of the course, but they redeem themselves in a comparable exercise near the end of the course).
They rave about this in the online performance feedback giving me buckets of brownie points, which the system automatically turns into comparative graphs for staff evaluations.
