Have you ever wondered what the heck is Dungeons and Dragons?  Or have you ever thought "why is Dungeons and Dragons so popular?"  Or "why was everyone in the 1980's hating Dungeons and Dragons?"

We've spent some time in today's episode discussing the history of D & D, what is the Satanic Panic surrounding the game and hopefully we've answered some of those questions for you.  Our Dungeon Master Sean talks to us about how to play D & D as well as why the game Dungeons and Dragons has made such a cultural impact on society.  This "game" has been played everywhere from basements to classrooms; Death Row inmates have played to keep their sanity as well as soldiers dealing with PTSD.

Your imagination and creativity are your greatest allies in the world of D & D, and I hope this episode can open some people's minds to the fact that "Everyone is a nerd about something" so don't hate something without giving it a try!

Check out Critical Role, Dimension 20, among the countless others promoting the game and if cartoons are your thing, check out "The Mighty Nein" and "The Legend of Vox Machina" on Amazon Prime.

The background music audio is from the 2023 movie "Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" and the outro music is "D&D" by The Library Bards
