So I guess it was a better commercial for TSR and they didn't even have to pay for it.<br /><br />I just shared this movie with my son today, he watched most of it but then lost interest. I'm planning on running a family game of D&D using my Holmes edition soon.Chad Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15084711824869449643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6521849845513719910.post-38200841518706322002013-12-26T17:33:51.017-08:002013-12-26T17:33:51.017-08:00I never read the book, but in the movie version at...I never read the book, but in the movie version at least I felt the game was not presented as bad, it was the Tom Hanks character's personal issues that led to him having problems, seeing them through the lens of the game world. Cool to hear about the moms sticking up for you though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6521849845513719910.post-61489399349222995552013-12-23T06:16:22.126-08:002013-12-23T06:16:22.126-08:00Clearly mom's take was a bit less charitable! ...Clearly mom's take was a bit less charitable!

It was loosely based on an actual event of a guy who already was having his difficulties that had nothing to do with that game. The rest of the people who play in the book are not having any adjustment issues, including the narrator who seems basically a voice of Jaffe herself. And I would dearly love to be able to eat another Devil Dog. I can't find them anywhere anymore!
