Ethan Gilsdorf, author of Of Dice and Men: The Story of Dungeons & Dragons and the People Who Play It, has a piece on the new edition of the game, entitled "Dungeons & Dragons strikes back," in The Boston Globe.
The article quotes Pulitzer Prize winning author Junot Diaz, as well as my friend Christopher Robichaud, who recently edited the book Dungeons & Dragons and Philosophy.
My impression of the fifth edition of D&D is generally favourable. I plan to write a review at some point, but suffice to say (for now) I think that it it is a vast improvement over the 3rd and 4th editions. So I'm glad to learn that it seems to be doing reasonably well.
