ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
The first game of D&D took place in the 70’s and that sparked a revolution in gaming. Since that first session, scores of people have role-played and experienced this social phenomenon. The game has always welcomed new players, but recently the game has exploded and exponentially more people are playing the game now. With this growth comes new customs, traditions, preferences and opinions. In this podcast, we want to explore these nuances within the culture and psychology of D&D. So if you’re intrigued by the ever growing life of the game, we welcome you to join us in this Investigation Check!
