I don't remember the title or the author, but the story line went something like this: A space ship leaves earth with scientist and their families to explore a distant planet. Along the way various forms of games are used to entertain people, but the favorite is "Dungeon and Dragons". This is not the same "D and D" that we know now, but a more refined version that has no DM and takes place entirely in the heads of the players. Two of the players (who's characters are not involved in the main game at that time) have their characters have an affiar. The space ship eventually get to its destination and drops off the two previously mentioned people and two others (one which is a "D and D" player). The 3 "D and D" players get in trouble while on the planet and rather than (or because they can't) figure out how to save themselves, they slip into their "D and D" characters. They eventually "kill" their "D and D" characters and figure out how to get out of their troubles. Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liz Scheller-Lee "Back in Pooh Corner"
