Behold! We review a book, and it’s…a thing. Your Fab Foursome delve into this informative and controversial book of essays discussing various aspects of Dungeons and Dragons from 1974 to 2024—and beyond? Sit back, grab a cold one and join the SfH Book Club’s first (and possibly last!) meeting!
No authors were harmed in the making of this podcast, though Demi-Humans were certainly put through the wringer!

One Response to “Episode 60: Fifty Years of D&D by MIT Press”
Thanks Liz and company now I have to read another book. I had no idea that Zenopus had written a chapter on my Dad.
I think reading about Hindu gods in a D&D book is better for our understanding than not reading anything. Certainly watching Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was more offensive and less educational. Demi humans are cool.
Level limits were a dumb idea we were never even aware of. Good job folks.
