I had this article from The Citizen of Laconia forwarded to me yesterday:
The Dungeons and Dragons and Anime clubs of Franklin High School held an all-night Dungeons and Dragons game to raise funds for a trip to an anime convention in Boston.
According to Dungeons and Dragons Club adviser Molly Horn, students spent all night playing the popular role-playing game, watching anime, which are Japanese cartoons, and playing video games, among other activities.
Back when I was in high school, there was no anime club, and no one that I was aware of that I knew that played traditional RPGs. I’m glad to hear that, in some places now, the situation is different. So different, in fact, that you can apparently put together a fundraiser for a trip to an anime convention around an extended RPG session.
I wish someone would pay me to play Exalted…
