FH Presents: Slaying the Dragon with Ben Riggs
Added 2022-07-27 10:01:02 +0000 UTCAnd now for something completely...different? Haha, I just came up with that! Me! Folks, we're headed to GenCon next week (schedule of FH shows and games) and I've got GAME on the BRAIN. Where do TTRPGS come from? What the hell ARE they even? What can we "learn"* from their origin story? Ben Riggs, author of the brand new Slaying the Dragon: A Secret History of D&D stopped by the Fortunate Horse studio to answer these questions, and deliver unto you a secret origin that includes
-H.G. Wells
-The Bronte Sisters
-The Prussian Military
-Zeus
and more!

I know I'm late to this post, but this was really cool and hope to see more things along these lines.
