I gave a TedX talk "Why Dungeons & Dragons is Good for You (In Real Life)"

gave a TedX talk entitled "Why Dungeons & Dragons is Good for You (In Real Life)."

I'm pretty happy with how it came out and I think the positive message about D&D is important to spread. So I'd truly love your help in getting the word out.

Thanks for watching and helping to spread the word.
