Sessions
From 1974 to present, the tabletop RPG hobby has been defined by Dungeons & Dragons. How has the game changed since the 70s? How has it stayed the same? Might older versions be worth looking into? D&D created the hobby, how does it continue to influence it?
Join Game Master Jeffrey Webb for a discussion of D&D from its beginnings in the wargame hobby to the modern days of streaming games and celebrity players.
