Just thought some of the old timers here might be interested in an
article in the Boston Globe:

Nice to see that Laratoa is still ongoing. Too bad the session they
reported was "boring".

Thanks for posting the article Warren. Glad to see other ageing gamers are
pressing on, and that the media still find it hard to take seriously ;-)

I wonder what they meant by boring?

The gaming field has come a very long way.

Now the vast majority of the under 25 crowd knows what role-playing is
and has probably participated.

Quite a change from the late 70s.

Let me put my choppers in and tell ya a tale Sonny!

Meh!

In service,

To be honest, after seeing the article I don't think it mattered that
much; the reporter seemed to get it pretty well anyway. I think of
the sessions with combat as more exciting, but they may primarily be
more exciting for the players rather than for spectators. I think the
reporter did a good job of looking beyond the specific session and
understanding the game as a whole.
