Or you can go a different route.  You can really talk about your hobby only touching on the history in the first few paragraphs.  Also, I liked to use my time to always dispell rurmos about dungeons aand dragons.  I"d even put a bit in my speech starting off( calleda faux paragraph) about what dungeons and dragons isn't... to the effect of "Dungeons and Dragons, a game where me and my friends don trashcans on our bodies and carry wooden sticks into steaming sewers.  Several of my friends have died in those sewers but we still play.  We still manage to get down there and summon a demon every now and then though.  Of course I am kidding, but, if you read reports from the earlier 80s this is what many of the public believe the game is.  This is not the case Dungeon and Dragons is perhaps one of the most popular tabletop games on the planet rivaling games such as Monopoly and Scrabble." Then I"d go into my three topics My three things are.  Brief History Why people play, how people play (make sure you cover today's dnd'rs in your  report.)As a journalist, I like to lean away from books as reference material and use live interviews which , for me, come off more current.  Hope that helps</blockquote>
