First ever D&D TV ad!?

If they released it in USA they could be accussed of marketing Satanism for children.

Meh, the only bad press D&D has gotten lately only seems to come from internet messageboards that are presumably pro-D&D. Maybe a good ol' controversy with some old-fashion book burning, Barbara Walters interviews and cheesy made-for-TV movies is all we need to give the hobby another good shot in the arm and introduce it to a whole new generation of rejects.

Is this dnd boardgame Europe anything like the old Dungeon! boardgame? Anyone try it out? Any feedback? Just curious...

I look upon the black waves of the future and see grand pyres alit. Text and tomes fill the bases and fear and ignorance fill the burner's faces. A shadow shall rise, the fools into the fire turned and justice delivered, one life for each book burned

It's HeroQuest in a D&D suit.

If you go to the game website, you can download the rulebooks in *.pdf format. It feels sorta-D&Dish, without D&D mechanics. Probably a fun game, though I don't know how much crossover traffic it would generate to the RPG. Looks great for families and kids, though.

As I recall, there were some ads on television from TSR for the 1st Edition Dungeons and Dragons game and Star Frontiers back in the 1980s. I do not know how much it would cost to air such ads now. (Although WotC could consider advertising on cable television, which might be cheaper than broadcast television advertising.)
