Admittedly it is unlikely that somebody reading this blog is unaware of what a role-playing game is. Nevertheless I can recommend this PBS mini-documentary on YouTube about what Dungeons & Dragons is, and how it influenced culture over the last 30+ years. The documentary argues that the success of a game like World of Warcraft would not have been possible without Dungeons & Dragons having introduced so many people to the idea that playing a dwarven warrior or elven wizard might be fun.
