D&D General D&D on Death Row

I saw an article in the New York Times today about death row inmates playing D&D (It was done in conjunction with the Marshall Project, and I linked to the article on that site). They find it to be rather therapeutic, and a way to deal with the isolation caused by solitary confinement. Anyway, I thought other gamers might be interested in the article.

It is an interesting read. But with all of the mainstream media articles in recent years, you would think editors would know by now that the abbreviation for Dungeons and Dragons is "D&D" not "D.&D."

One thing I found interesting was trying to play with minimal equipment, especially the lack of dice. It reminded me of old time gamers who would use cups of chits to get random numbers: take a chit out, put it back in, shake the cup up.
