Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
The French Kissers, which debuted at the Cannes Film Festival and premiers in Australia later this week, is a coming-of-age movie about two teenage French boys who, as you might expect, spend most of their time thinking about girls. According to this review, the film’s comic highlights include “a game of Dungeons and Dragons that turns into a grope session.” Well, it is fiction, after all.
In “real life,” Adam Lyons had to leave behind his D&D hobby to apply himself to that other interest. But as he describes it, becoming the worlds top-ranked pick-up artist was just another geeky game.
Nerdcore musician MC Frontalot also has a practical use for Dungeons & Dragons. He’s rolling savings throws vs. poison to help quit smoking.
