Episode 93: D&D and the Satanic Panic (Feb. Patron Roundtable)

Listen Later

Our monthly Patron Chat comes together this week to discuss the Satanic Panic of the 1980s and how it relates to Dungeons and Dragons. Plenty of folks thought D&D was responsible for all manner of real-life heinous acts and as a result, public backlash caused changes to the game. What were its origins? What happened as a result during that period? And what ramifications are still being felt today?
