For our fourth episode, I invited my gaming buddy, Jason Rush, to join me for a conversation about how 1980s nostalgia is bringing back games like AD&D. We get deep into his experiences as a 12-year-old gamer and how those memories are coming back in spades today, as we prepare for our AD&D campaign beginning this Friday!

In my sophomore episode, I am joined by Daniel Fisher, podcaster for Innroads Ministries and owner of knucklebonezdice.com. I enlisted him to help me sort out the early history of Dungeons and Dragons, as well as why we call AD&D “first edition,” when it wasn’t actually the first D&D.

35 min - CtD Podcast, Episode 1: Dead at the Door
As a complete noob to 1e AD&D, I thought I’d enlist the help of some experts to educate me (and you as well!). Thus for my first Chasing the Dragon podcast, I am joined by Jeff Romo, board member of and podcaster for Innroads Ministries, and Joshua Brown, member of and podcaster for The Mad Adventurers Society. I interviewed them on topics like:
- Their first AD&D experience
- What they loved about the game
- What they would (and did) change in the game
- What their advice would be to folks (like me) who are learning AD&D
A few notes from the show:
