Playing Dungeons and Dragons with John Darnielle of Mountain Goats

We surprised John Darnielle, lead singer of the Mountain Goats, with a custom campaign of Dungeons and Dragons based on their new full-length album “In League with Dragons.” The album includes references to fantasy, but also deals candidly with life and aging in the modern age. We sat down with him in a castle to play some D&D and talk about the record.

Clarification: the music video for "This Year" was originally released in 2005, but was published to YouTube in 2011.
