D&D was huge in the armed forces at one time. Now that electronic gaming is so big, maybe not so much anymore. Which is a shame, in my opinion the exercising of folks imagination has dwindled in the wake of video games.

80’s music?!! If you are talking about 80’s pop, well, I reckon you have more to worry about than Harry Potter. Call the local exorcist already. Does holy water burn him?

Maybe it depends on the service. I remember my dad talking about D&D going on in the carriers in the 80s, but PC games are much bigger now On a carrier, there’s probably still a pencil-and-paper-and-dice group or twenty, but a CG cutter has only a couple of hundred crew, and they work like dogs.

Anoreth and Tom, who are more alike than they want to believe, both enjoy online text roleplaying, which is basically a group of posters writing a piece of fiction together. Good for the typing skills, grammar, and imagination.
