Dungeons & Dragons was published in 1974 and went on to become a phenomenon - but first came the struggle just to get it printed!

This episode chronicles the tale of Dave Arneson, Gary Gygax, and various other Daves. These nerds built on each others' ideas to kick off a revolution - in gaming and beyond. You'll hear of wargaming, shoe cobbling, ferocious plastic dinosaurs, and duels to the death along the way.

DUNGEONS NEVER DIE! traces the history of role-playing games year-by-year, playing an adventure from every year that D&D has been around! This is the first episode exploring the history of the game. For our first proper dungeon delve, jump ahead to join us deep within the Temple of the Frog!
