Notes
Dungeons & Dragons Changed Lives
“Wanting to be a cooler, beer-drinking, girl-bedding kind of guy, I
stopped playing D&D when I went to college. There was shame in them
thar imaginary hills. So I shelved that yearning for fantasy heroics,
which looked so weak and antisocial. I told myself, You don’t need D&D anymore.
Boy, was I wrong.”
