DnD playing
Jocelyn Vilter
Until my Dungeons and Dragons loving son gets up and has a chance to hear
this question and come up with an answer for you (and I know he'll want to),
I thought I'd post this:
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/library
(see also http://www.boingboing.net/2005/08/29/
howto_host_a_library.html )
Wizards of the Coast will sponsor after-school D&D programs in public
libaries. (Note the "after-school" - this is not a specifically home-
or unschooling activity.)
The Afternoon Adventure with DUNGEONS & DRAGONS program will include
everything librarians need to start regular gaming programs in their
library with the original pen-and-paper roleplaying game Dungeons &
Dragons (D&D for short). Players assume the persona of fantasy
characters and pursue magical adventures, confronting and solving
problems using strategic thinking and teamwork. For three decades,
D&D has appealed to an ever-increasing population of fans for its use
of imagination and storytelling over competition. This free program
will include a Dungeons & Dragons Basic Game (a $24.99 value),
instructions for starting a D&D group in the library, a guide to
using D&D as an introduction to library use, recommended reading
lists, and other practical resources.

I also know that he just recently bought the DandD for Dummies book, just
for fun recently. I thought that was pretty well written. He really likes
the idea of bringing new people into the fold.
