D&D and the Moral Panic on CBC (1985)

I'm particularly fascinated with the moral panic surrounding D&D in the early to mid 1980s. I've watched the 60 Miniutes clips posted on youtube before, but recently someone posted clips from the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) from 1985.

I still find it shocking that such a discourse arose out of the game. I also find it ironic that when the odd death occurs "due" to WOW - like one in Barrrie, ON in the last couple years - people don't even notice.

Note: Sinister Woods Dungeon Tiles

I just read a nice review of the new Sinister Woods Dungeon Tile set over at NewbieDM.

I won't re-review the set here.

However, I do think people should know that I bought 2 sets and in both cases the top layer was peeling away from the tile. I noticed this specifically on 4 tiles. Two of the largest size and two of the smaller size (2x2). NewbieDM noticed the same thing.

I had to glue these back down or they would have been useless.

The aesthetic of the tile set is great, and this is the first time I've had a problem like this.

Buyer Beware
