From the interview:
| Quote: |
There is a great, secret society of D&D players in Hollywood. Trust me, it's not hard to find a game.
|
This is very true...my brother used to work at G4 and heard about some of these tables from the players themselves. Apparently, one group has Erol Otis doing their character sketches...
-Ben.

Well, and here I thought it was just Robin Williams playing Warhammer and Vin Diesel with the D&D action.
Bring on the ac-tors who game. And they should totally commission me to write tailored modules for them, and not even at Hollywood prices...

I'd be interested in being a patron of a project written by Stephen King and Joss Whedon as guest authors.
If you wrote one for Stephen Colbert you KNOW he'd plug it on his show and maybe send a bunch of Colberites your way. (It could be about politics...tyrrany versus freedom). |

Hahaha! I can so see that happening.
There should be an Open Design movie.. I've only seen Wolfgang in pictures, but maybe we can get Colbert or Mike Meyers to play him.

We could give him a guest patronage and get him hooked! |

If anyone has contact information for Mr. Colbert, I'll send him a freebie.
It might involve dire bears.

The celebrity list is not surprising, and Kari Byron's geek lust factor just went up even more.  |

You need to watch Discovery channel's show Mythbusters more often. Along with having a super-hot redhead (most of the time), it's got tons of geeky awesomeness.
