D&D Sponsoring?!

[Larcen]

Forgive me if this is old news and everybody already knows about it. But I saw this and it really surprised me. Go here and look at the bottom to see a familiar logo among the sponsors:

Does anyone know anything about WOTC's connection with this? Will there be a D&D comercial during this show or what??

 

[Breakstone]

Actually, I saw a glimpse of the D&D logo during the commercial as well.

Hey, I think it's great to do some advertising for that audience!

Hmmm, might have to borrow a friend's tv just to watch this

I am always amused with the attempts to find a "historical" Arthur, due to my own thoughts on the topic.

But it seems like a good match, D&D and the legends of King Arthur. Knights, dragons, chivalry, heavy armour, magic, intrigue, even a bit of social mobility: sounds like our audience

It's a good thing to see the D&D name on. I've been pleased with the History channels programming for the most part, and this is a series many people will see and I'd imagine most of them are not D&D players.

One of the sweepstakes can get you a free PHB. 100 are being given away as 3rd prizes.

Edit: WOOHOO! 100th post!

Since Sopranos and Deadwood have finished their seasons, I can watch this. Cool!

 

[Larcen]

Yes, but what I really wanted to know was if there is going to be a D&D commercial or not during this show. Oh well, I guess I will just have to watch it. I was planning to already due to the topic.

I'm sure they'll be sportin' the 30 year aniversary graphics but I wonder if the d20 logo will get a little visual time, even if it is just seen in passing as a product is flashed.
