Dan, Roll a critical!
Last night I had a dream that I taught Dan Rather how to play D&D. He was having a hard time with the whole concept, but after a while I got it across to him. He would roll his dice and move his lead figure on the counter with a little difficulty, but I think he got it. He had to leave after a while, it was getting late and he wanted to get home. I'm not sure he fully enjoyed the experience.

You're leaving out vital details here. What race and class did he play? What kinda campaign were you running?
On a side note, I had a seriously fucked up dream the other night. Like, I woke up at 2:30AM (I had only gone to bed an hour earlier) and was so freaked out I didn't move for about an hour and a half. The good part? I totally have a bitchin' idea for that ConX campaign now. :D
