Thanks to Wizards.com for the information on next week's Worldwide D&D Game Day, celebrating the game's 30th Anniversary. "Saturday, October 16, 2004, participating game stores will present two adventures well stocked with hapless monsters to slay. Bring some friends to adventure with or meet some new gaming buddies at the event. The mini adventure, Lair or the Mad Alchemist, provides a great introduction to D&D, while The Forgotten Forge offers the thrill of a full-scale adventure set in the exciting new world of Eberron." If you're interested, here's a handy list of participating stores.

D&D Obession is Fascinating by michaelzhao · 2004-10-10 08:33 · Score: 0, Flamebait

Why are people so fascinated with D&D? I really don't get it. There is a recent Wired article about how D&D is almost an alter ego (except they were referring to EverQuest). Not to be mean or abusive, but could it be that people with low self esteem or come from broken families play D&D (most D&D players, note MOST... never said ALL)? I have read several reports that hardcore RPG games really do have a influence on a person's life. The character they are influences the person they are. Often giving them higher self-esteem. Maybe D&D isn't that bad after all.
