in the late-'90s, a new owner revamped the game, releasing new editions and a mind-boggling 20-sided dice.

Hey Leigh Sales, your research intern sucks at their job.

Or maybe that's your editor. It's hard to be sure.

I cringed at that part. But overall is was a well done piece. Better than I expected.

It was painful to hear D&D described as for geeks and nerds, though, particularly with how they said they were disgusting. I have heard the one DM's hood was painful to see, but it looked good on him and it was light.

I'm not clear, is this a parody article?

No, it looks legit. Its the Australian Broadcasting Corp, so I assume its real.

Some of the terminology seemed a bit "off" IMO, but still, it gives the game some exposre to people who may not otherwise be introduced to D&D. The fact that it was on a local news network adds some "legitimacy" to the report (in the viewer's minds) as well. Nothing wrong with that.
