The Boulder Daily Camera reports on the resurgence of D&D<\/a> among twenty-something professionals.<\/p>\n

It’s not a bad article — it talks about how D&D playing is breaking some old stereotypes (though its description of the action in a game is, um, oddly obsessed with “holy water,” and spell-casting and combat is really hardly touched on). It touches on some of the bugbears of the 80s, but also how much of that Impressionable Youth Turned Into Satanists<\/a> claptrap has faded away now that more adults are into the game.<\/p>\n

Overall, not a bad article to foward to your bewildered friends and relatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
