D&D on Jeopardy

[Firebeetle]

Just a note that the first question/answer on Thursday's, 2/8/07 episode of Jeopardy was "What is Dungeons and Dragons?". It was teen week and one of the categories was Role Playing Games. Although the rest of the questions were (sadly) about computer games, the first "answer" was (best guess)

"The grandfather of roleplaying games created in 1974 by Gary Gygax that features a twenty sided die and a monster manual."

I love hearing little reference to D&D and thought I would share. I wonder if a Jeopardy staffer is a player?

I've suddenly been struck by the idea for D&D Jeopardy

What would the categories be?

What would the answers/questions be?

...Did they actually get the answer correct?

Let's see. A round of Jeopardy has, what, 6 categories?

Monsters
Magic
Combat
Worlds
Behind the scenes (authors, artists, etc.)
Old School (1st edition questions )

Remember, the categories are sometimes bad puns, or odd aliterations.
