Why is Dungeons and Dragons so popular nowadays?

Response:
Dungeons and Dragons, also commonly known as D&D is a role playing game that has been around since the 70s. D&D has been enjoying somewhat of a resurgence in recent years and has gained more mainstream appeal thanks largely to the internet and streaming in particular. Shows like Critical Role and Dimension 20 where campaigns are streamed often in real time over the internet have made D&D more accessible than ever before. The success of Critical Role in particular is noteworthy, with Amazon Prime developing an animated show based on the first campaign and a second show announced adapting the second campaign. There is even a D&D movie in the works set to release in 2023 with a cast of renowned actors like Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez.
