Barnes & Noble University Offering DnD "Classes&quo
   

<blockquote><em>As more and more people realize the fun they're denying themselves by turning away from orc-bashing and dragon-baiting, mainstream businesses and media are paying more attention to RPGs. Sam the Giant writes "Barnes & Noble University is offering a free 8 hour on-line course titled 'Discover Dungeons & Dragons: Becoming a D&D Player'. The free course is described as follows: 'As a beginning player, this course will guide you in understanding how D&D works, explaining the various worlds and characters types that it is based on, creating a D&D role for yourself, and understanding how your player role interacts in the world and with other characters. You will learn the extent of your abilities and the possibilities that lie ahead for your player, including magical spells, mythic quests, and epic battles with incredible monsters.' It's free to enroll." In the same vein, NPR's great reporting turns to World of Warcraft. Dragoonmac writes "All Things Considered recently ran a feature about WoW communities, farmers, and a humorous review of real-life. A Slashdotter's must hear."</em></blockquote> That's the entire text of the article but if you'd like some of their embedded links, head over to <a href="http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/12/03/011248&from=rss" target="_blank">Slashdot</a>.

Ripping the entire news article is not really on.

The proper references and credit are given and I indicated that more information (in terms of links, etc.) can be seen over at Slashdot. The article was too short to break into a 'sound bite' and paraphrasing the whole thing would have been much more nefarious. I do not have a guilty conscience in any way, shape or form.
