Watch This Explanation Of Why Playing D&D Makes You Better At Life


I kind of love the PBS Ideas series. It appeals both to my inner nerd (the child who watched Nova and 3-2-1 Contact incessantly many years ago) and to my current internet-based, short-on-time self.

In this latest instalment, host Mike Rugnetta takes a hard look at the stereotype that gamers and tabletop gamers still can’t seem to shed — that of the basement-dwelling failed adult — and digs into the reasons why it’s such a falsehood, complete with examples of real-life famous folks who love dungeon-crawling.
