Yesterday at the semi-weekly D&D game, we decided to hold it at the new gaming store in town rather than at the house. It's a nice place, well-decorated with great design sensibilities. Although one of the house artists has a problem with basic anatomy, the other's taste runs toward the awesomeness that is Frazetta-on-Velvet.
While we were there, a woman walked and identified herself as being part of a local business newsletter. She wanted to greet the new business and find out what it was "you did in here."
The proprietor on call leapt up and proceeded to tell her all about role playing, and he literally had to come in from the back and explain to her that Dungeons and Dragons is like World of Warcraft, only you got together with your friends and used your imagination, rather than sitting in front of a computer playing with strangers thousands of miles away. Where computers generate random numbers, we used dice, but it was all looking up the consequences in a rulebook somewhere, after all.
Right?
