One of my professors today made an in-depth reference to Dungeons and Dragons. And another answered a question with a link to a wikipedia article.
In the latter case, that might just mean that wikipedia is being taken more seriously among academics, though, for several reasons, I doubt that is the case. It's probably because wikipedia has become the fastest and most convenient place to find information, and other, more serious sites are harder to find. But D&D - possibly one of the geekiest RPGs of all time?
Mind you, I have nothing against D&D or wikipedia. It's just that I might have expected a little more, well, sophistication from YLS. What is happening to academia?
