There is an article on the current popularity of
Dungeons and Dragons in today's
New York Times: "
In a Chaotic World, Dungeons & Dragons Is Resurgent." It's a nice piece, and I'm glad that the game is doing so well these days (including with a wider range of kinds of players than ever before).
I certainly like 5th edition far more than the previous two. In fact, I'm running a 5e D&D game right now. But I just wish that
other role-playing games would be mentioned sometimes in these articles! It's a bit frustrating that 'RPGs = D&D' for most journalists.
*sigh* 😞
You can’t really expect much from the New York Times.

ReplyDeleteForgetting I had my editor hat on made me cringe a few times.
DeleteAt any rate, the fact that Zweihänder of all is covered in the article is not surprising at all, given the publisher's skill (and persistence) in marketing.
