"Non-traditional" uses of D&D?

I'm all for it! From Chris Speck's blog, "Squeezing English lessons out of mainstream culture and technology"...
"I played Dungeons and Dragons for many years as a teenager and enjoyed the role-play, the creation and the dice rolling and it’s only recently that I’ve got back into the game. I’ve never taken it too seriously and so, I thought,  why not try it with my EFL / ESOL students. After all, it is a game that requires a lot of talking, communication, reasoning, reading and even some writing – all the skills you need to use a language. This adventure wouldn’t make a good lesson, it’s something you could do as part of an English club or similar."

The rest of the article is very interesting, and a really fun way to help people learn!
