The Alternate Universe Of A 38-Year-Old Dungeons & Dragons Game | Robert Wardhaugh | Podcast Ep. 47

Jesse and Priscilla talk with a history scholar, Dr. Robert Wardhaugh, who runs a 38-year-old D&D game. As a teenager in a small town during the Satanic Panic of the ’80s, Wardhaugh was accused of devil worship. He learned to hide his love of D&D but never stopped playing. He now runs a thriving, uplifting, and disporting virtual social game where history and imagination converge.
