Ever wondered what Dungeons & Dragons actually is, beyond the dice and the dragons? This week, we roll for exposition and charisma as we dive into the world’s most iconic tabletop roleplaying game. How do you play it? Why do people get so into it? And what other cursed corners of pop culture has D&D managed to slither into?

But hold onto your initiative tracker, because somewhere between reality and pure fantasy, we take a sharp left turn into 1982.
Suddenly, we’re elbow-deep in disco fog, where our characters stumble into a glass bar run by a suspiciously glassy bartender. Hidden between the stacks of a library with no office hours? A wizard playing with frequencies. And in the deep recesses of betong lays the Patron Saint of Polyester and Prada, ever watchful.

Is it nostalgia? A cursed one-shot? Or have we just failed a collective wisdom check?

Tune in and roll with us.
