Knowledge History D&D - Episode 2: Setting up the Pieces (1953 - 1967)
This episode, we continue the new series "Knowledge - History - D&D". A chronological review of the creation of Dungeons & Dragons. We'll intro you to the people who created D&D and how they first got interested in table top gaming. We talk through the early days of Gary Gygax, Don Kaye, and Dave Arneson.
Again, a lot of research went into this episode, so I'm sharing my bibliography.
I also highly recommend the following books:
Empire of Imagination by Michael Witwer
Of Dice And Men by David M. Ewalt
