Pull quote: "What brought me peace of mind regarding mastery of administrivia was not a sober acceptance of adult responsibility. Rather, it was the realization that I'm just leveraging the skills that I developed playing D&D."

I believe we've also cataloged some old literature on academic success as the ability to play a structured game, but I don't recall the specifics. A commenter on this most recent piece referred back to a 2007 article in the Chronicle entitled "Knights of the Faculty Lounge," but it's paywalled.
