Grandparents roll the dice, play elves in ‘D&D AARPG’

CNET:

We geeks who spent hours of our adolescence playing Dungeons & Dragons always had to explain what we were doing to parents and grandparents who didn’t understand the appeal of pretending to be elves and wizards.

But the new YouTube series “D&D AARPG” on the Geek & Sundry channel takes it a step further and invites seniors to actually play D&D themselves for the first time.

In the first episode of “D&D AARPG,” which aired in February, the seniors choose their characters and get the hang of pretending to be druids, dwarves and elves. The second episode, posted on April 6, shows the seniors having even more fun during their quest. Dungeon/game master Amy Vorpahl does a great job impersonating witches, ogres and other characters to the seniors’ delight.

These are really fun videos to watch. They bring me back to my D&D playing days in high school and college.
