D&D mentioned at USA Today

It's time to get the (D&D) band back together - Pop Candy: Unwrapping pop culture's hip and hidden treasures

Wizards put up a link to a pop piece about the 'Never split the party' contest at USAToday.

it's short and I'm not sure if it's really a news item or a blog entry.

Wow. I really wish I had the vacation time to be able to attend GenCon this summer. If I did I would be all over submitting to Never Split the Party. I have two different groups I would love to get back together. I won't submit because with my luck I would win and wouldn't be able to attend.

They're in serious danger of coming up with some good ideas over at WotC.

Giving this kind of publicity to such a positive, 'feelgood' competition is just what the hobby needs. It broadcasts 'family and friends' instead of 'weird cult'

Pity they had to stick the video on the end

This is awesome. I love it. Sure, it's a blatant ad.* One quibble though, I would have said that James Franco was on General Hospital or Spider-Man. Those things are more popular than a failed TV show that only ran for less than a full season.


* Forgive me, I had to be a cynic towards marketing. Gotta keep-up my tabletop rpger street cred.

I'll stop now.
