Retroist Dungeons & Dragons Podcast

One of the most important breakthroughs in gaming came to life in the 1970s.

Welcome to the Retroist Dungeons & Dragons Podcast. I begin by talking about one of my earlier experiences with the game. Then I talk about the creation of D&D. How it moved from supplement to game. How it grew HUGE and the various iterations over the years. I bring up the TV shows, movies, video games and so much more.

The episode contains a great audio treat that was put together by Retroist author, blogger, and collector Greg (RetroArt). Greg tracked down the legendary dice wizard Lou Zocchi, who founded Gamescience, and got him to talk about how he feels about the Retroist Podcast.

Production Notes

  • This is episode 34 of the 1st season of the Retroist Podcast.

  • The history available about D&D is changing rapidly. I am guessing in ten years we will have a completely new origin story.

Thanks for listening to the show and I hope you have a great weekend.
