I've heard D&D mentioned in passing on the Daily Show a few times...so, I'd imagine at least 1 or 2 of their main writers has played.

Pfft, Google. Google gives me this

Thanks, man.

Loved it!

Andre Norton played OD&D. The novel "Quag Keep', was inspired by a OD&D campaign in which Andre Norton was participating.

The 30th aniversary book has a bunch of testimonials...this includes Stephen Colbert, Will Weaton, David X Cohen, that barenaked ladies guy and of course Vin Deisel who have already been mentioned. The general impression is that a lot of people in both software and entertainment have some exposure.

But, I am not feeling very Socratic today, and the inner collective memory is not of much help.

Socrates didn't have as much to learn.

Well, he would've disagreed with you, but he's dead now so who cares?

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.

Bill Gates plays contract bridge with Warren Buffet as his partner. No kidding.

Thanks, man.

No problem.

d&d specifically may not have been in the ET movie, but they ARE playing a role playing game at the first of the movie.

They probably play for $1 a game.... like the Duke brothers in "Trading Places"
