Episode 65: Dungeons and Dragons

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross put pen to paper (in an audio sense) to talk about Dungeons & Dragons and its legacy in this very special episode.

If you’ve ever played a game where a number was assigned to a character, you have D&D to thank for that. This is a very special episode made possible by our wonderful Kickstarter backers. For the first half, we talk about the history of Dungeons and Dragons. In the second half, we talk about D&D’s impact on video games, and take a brief tour of games based on it.
