More D&D to replace what is missing in our lives

Submitted by The Game on Wednesday, October 26, 20052 Comments

Wizards of the Coast has started selling bumper stickers. Most of them are pretty uninspired, though “Don’t make me roll for initiative” is pretty good. It’s still not enough to topple classics such as “Carpe DM: Seize the Dungeon Master” and “Jesus Saves (and takes half damage)”

I do like that Wizards is expanding to try to make D&D more acceptable, like this ad targeted at MMORPG players. I mean, come on… I’d much rather play D&D than WoW any old day of the week. While WoW is a group activity, my experience was that it wasn’t really a social activity… unless you count “WTS Crystal McGuffin” as being social.

    I take your statements against WoW personally, and I demand McGuffin’s as retribution and apology!

    Oh, sorry….WTB McGuffins!

    I really like those bumper stickers though, especially the “I played D&D before it was cool one”. The problem here though is when you deal with lazy gamers like those in the LBS, where you have to promise them free cakes and delicious pies to lure them out of their hermit caves.

    Pretending to be an elf in my basement FTW.
