As a former D&D geek, I wouldn't want that kid there... We only accepted misfits and freaks - and drunks!!!

Nothing like telling the potential audience of your soon-to-be-released online RPG exactly what you think of them.. =D

Haha, so true!

Its not a very good advert to be honest. You can get away with playing RPG's because they're a computer game, but when it comes to the dice rolling form of d&d its different because its still considered to be the ultimate form of geekdom. Pity really. But if they think an advert like that is helping to eradicate the stereotype...well they're wrong!

Re: A D&D advert

True, hardly going to inspire someone to try find a D&D game for the first time.... let's face facts your never going to have a life so atleast stick together... Interseting marketing strategy?


I love RPG's and used to enjoy a good game of risk as well as playing magic: the gathering for a bit many years ago but Ive never actually played a D&D game.

I play D&D but I haven't for awhile now. Can you believe there's a "Dungeons and Dragons for Dummies" now?
