Reading D&D Aloud

It's like Bible study for D&D fanatics!

Slaying the Dragon author and historian Ben Riggs & TRPG scholar Dr. Scott M. Bruner read and analyze the most sacred texts of Dungeons & Dragons (from original edition rules to modern adventures)! They are often joined by special guests, including current and former Wizards employees, contemporary academics, and modern designers, to meditate on the inspirations, ambitions, past & future of the medium of tabletop roleplaying. Listen to a historian, an academic, and some special guests read D&D texts aloud and comment on them!
