This is pretty cool, although I have to admit I have never once thought of D&D as a toy.

Bubble Wrap didn't win?! Awww, man! *kicks rock*  I too distinguish between toys and games, but I guess the word "game" is now solely reserved for video games. Talk about semantic narrowing! |

What is a video game? Is that the selfie thing that all the kids are out doing with their old people proof "smart" phones?  |

This is pretty cool, although I have to admit I have never once thought of D&D as a toy. I think, in retrospect, that was one of its draws as a teen. It wasn’t advertised as for kids. It was advertised as: - The Original Fantasy Role Playing Game for 3 or More Adults, Ages 10 and Up
- The Original Adult Fantasy Role-Playing Game For 3 or More Players
- Dungeons & Dragons is a fantastic, exciting and imaginative game of role playing for adults 12 years and up.
I never thought of it as something for kids, and so never had any qualms about carrying it to college or into life beyond college. |

Whenever the word "gamer" is used -- especially by the dreaded Millennials -- it ALWAYS refers to video gamers. Nothing else. Hence my complaint. |
