Next contest - Alliterative RPG titles! How many games can you identify as real or phony: Tunnels & Trolls, VIllians & Vigilanties, Castles & Crusades, Mazes & Monsters, Monsters & Mazes, Castles & Cauldrons, Demons Nymphs & Dragons, Mutants & Masterminds, Grottoes & Gargoyles, Powers & Perils - For the phony ones, you must identify where they came from. The listener who sends in the most correct answers wins the prize, so enter as often as you like!
Wow, that's a lot of show notes. That'll keep me busy for a while.
Glad you're back. Thankfully I'm lazy about culling feeds from my podcatcher.
There was a cracked article not too long ago entitled "The 6 Most Insane Moral Panics in History." Number #3 was D&D.
http://www.cracked.com/article_17040_p2.html
I've posted the URL of page 2 in case you're not inclined to dig. D&D is right there at the top.
Thanks for the link! I'll be sure to mention it in the next episode.
