[QUOTE="jbear, post: 5206408, member: 75065"] I live in Spain. Everyone I've told that I play D&D have heard of it. They relate it to something negative, most of them, and already have a biased 'I don't like that kind of thing' attitude towards it. Others, a minority, know of it and are curious about it but have no idea really how it works or what it's about. Any largescale exposure which can alter, even in a small way, the negative prejudice or mistaken associations people have towards D&D has to be positive. I'd say even if that means boardgame and D&D are used in the same sentence with a like somewhere in between. Apart from wanting to attract former players back (via the new time convenience of the Encounters design) they want to attract new players as well. Never played D&D? Don't know what its all about? Well its kind of like a board game... you throw dice, you have a game piece which you move around something that likes not too different from a game board... but unlike monopoly the players aren't trying to kill or even bankrupt each other... interested? Let me tell you more... [/QUOTE]
