The Origins and Popularity of Dungeons & Dragons

CONTENT WARNING! We talk about sensitive subjects such as suicide in this episode. 988 Is the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline

Step into the past with all three of us in the Gruesome Gaming Group as we explore the tumultuous era of the 80s Satanic Panic, where Dungeons & Dragons found itself on trial. Our episode peels back the layers of hysteria and dives deep into the true impact of this controversy. Learn how a game of imagination and adventure became a symbol of fear, and how it ultimately emerged unscathed, leaving an indelible mark on the world of tabletop gaming.
