The History of Dungeons & Dragons

Send us Fan MailBefore it was a billion-dollar cultural force, Dungeons & Dragons was just a handful of rulebook pamphlets, clattering dice in basements, and two gamers with a radical idea: what if the battle wasn’t on the board—but in your imagination?This episode is a deep dive into the wild, weird, and wonderful history of D&D—from its wargaming roots to global phenomenon. We’ll explore its birth in the 1970s, the rise of the Dungeon Master, the lawsuits and rivalries, the Satanic Panic, near bankruptcy, epic comebacks, the streaming boom, and the ever-expanding, ever-diverse community that keeps the magic alive.It’s a story of dragons, lawsuits, moral panic, rebellion, reinvention, and above all—collaborative storytelling. Whether you’ve played for decades or have only heard of “that one movie with the walking tree,” you’ll leave with a new appreciation for how a game changed pop culture forever.Grab your dice, your imagination, and maybe a healing potion—your adventure starts now.Thank You for listening and Stay curious,Kat & WilliamEmail  [email protected] you would like to support Info On The Go click the link belowhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2434258/support Follow us wherever you listen to podcasts and leave us a review.Follow us on Facebook at Info on the Go!https://www.facebook.com/share/g/159DdiptQh/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://infoonthego.buzzsprout.com Being Me Is the Best Thing to Be by Judy Erb tells the story of Honey, a curious little turtle who learns that being herself is the very best thing to be.
