I playd D&D when I was younger (note the younger not young part , we’re still young as bryan l. commented in facebook) and I can vote!!!  Read the D&D players coming to the defense of something I loved to do when I was younger (and still if only someone would organize a D&D weekend, the fun that would be!!!!).

Matt sez, “With that rocks-for-brains reporter in Boston trying to link campus shooter Amy Bishop’s crimes to Dungeons & Dragons, I thought I’d take an opportunity to look at the good D&D has done for several writers I know. This is that article. By the way, I’ve been a D&D player for almost thirty years now, and have been a happier, more productive person for it.”
I haven’t played since my early 20s (late teens?) but D&D was an enormously positive influence on my life and imagination.
