We're More Than D&D Characters
Welcome to We're More Than D&D Characters. A new podcast series where we will be exploring how TTRPGs have an effect on the people who experience them. We have found the popularity of games like D&D has arisen from not only the fun it provides, but the deeper impact it has had on its participants. We'll be exploring interesting topics with special guests to allow TTRPG enthusiasts to talk about how their games have left a lasting impression on them. We believe TTRPGs are a way we explore ourselves and understand the world. We Are More Than D&D Characters.
