Give Stephen Colbert a free copy of Dungeons and Dragons 4th edition

[metal71dog]

Imagine if Colbert pulled an Oprah...

"Everyone's getting free PHBs!"

Or if he used it to start the Colbert Book Club!

And then there is the Celebrity D&D that Wil Wheaton was pitching to Comedy Central

I refuse to watch a show about a team of talking heads sponsored by big media.

In other news, D&D is serious business.

Dammit. I knew Colbert was a grognard at heart.

Wormwood, you are the bomb.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yes!

Thanks for saving the thread, mang.

I think something like this is the main way D&D 4e might get a mention on The Colbert Report.

Above and beyond all else, it has to be funny. It's a comedy show, after all. Just presenting a set of books isn't likely to be worth the air time.

Lexa Doig ("Andromeda," "The 4400," "Stargate SG-1," Jason X) is on record as being a D&D player. Quite possibly the single hottest chick to ever play the game. (Certainly no offense to all the women out there, but Lexa ... whew. She makes my dice rattle.)

She's quite attractive, yes, but Christina Hendricks (known to Firefly fans as Saffron/Bridget/Yolanda/Our Mrs. Reynolds) also played D&D as a kid, and has talked about it on her brother's podcast, "Geeks On!" Maybe it's because I'm a Firefly fan and not an Andromeda one, but I know which one I want to blow on my dice.

I agree.

But that said, I'd love to see a Wand of Orcus on the wall next to Cap's Shield.

Mmmmmm. Cue "like when we used to climb the rope in gym class" Garth comment.

The hottest gamer girl I've met is the "new" Elvira. She's a friend of a friend, has dinner with us every couple of weeks, and told me, in no uncertain terms, that I had to let her play D&D with us when 4th Edition comes out.

Here's her with Elvira after winning the contest.

Here's how she looks normally.
