Famous people who play D&D.

Does Bill Gates game (or used to)? I forgot.

Golly, Darkness. We've all forgotten everything. Socrates taught that universal knowledge is inside all of us, but we just don't remember any of it. So we ask each other questions in the Socratic method in order to tease the Truth out of us.

Or we enlist the aid of Google.

Pfft, Google. Google gives me this

 

[MrFilthyIke]

As far as the actors go, according to "30 Years of Adventure" it seems pretty common for actors and movie people to be gamers.

David X Cohen of Futurama said most of the writers gamed, even kept copies of
the game at the workplace for info/quotes/inspiration.

It gave me a link about "Bill Gates & Conan."






Unfortunately, it was just Conan O'Brien.

So Google doesn't give any obvious references to Bill Gates playing D&D?

All the better!

Ming Na from ER mentioned she used to play D&D... in HS I think.

I know Bill Gates plays low-limit hold'em. (I've been at a table with him. Not a very good player.) I've never heard of him playing RPGs, though. But, I mean, he is the uber-nerd. Would anybody be surprised to learn that he has played, at the very least?

Actually, I would be surprised if Gates ever played anything of the sort; I don't think it fits his style. Escaping reality is not what I see as a drive for him. In fact, he is probably too obsorbed with reality to make that necessary leap (the one we all enjoy so much!) into an RPG game.
