[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did a 2 second google search of celebrities that play and the first two to pop up are Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Vin Diesel.  Both one could argue epitomize the traditionally "cool" guy.

Don't forget Superman (Henry Cavill) is a big video gamer.  Henry is into World of Warcraft. During an interview on Conan back in 2016 when he was asked about his role as Superman, Henry admitted that he initially missed the producer's phone call about him being cast because he was so deep into the game.[/quote]

Video gaming is very different than D&D.  Honestly, 90% of all teens play video games, but the %age playing D&D is much lower.[/quote]

Umm, WoW is essentially a video game version of D&D, without the dungeon master.  It can also absorb far more time than traditional D&D.[/quote]

It's also far more socially isolated (assuming you are doing in-person D and D, which I think most people do). My kids both play D and D. I think it's great. A bunch of kids put down their devices and make up stories with their peers for a while while they laugh a lot. I hope my kids are doing this in college too![/quote]
