Dungeons and Dragons is a game that many have heard of and everyone has a different view of. For many fantasy nerds, like yours truly, the game holds a magical space in my mind. It is almost like a Mecca that I believe might change me fundamentally if I ever decided to go there... But this is A GAME we are talking about! any game with that kind of hype is definitely worth checking out.
In this episode I am guided into the world of D&D by Legendary Dungeon Master, Porter Henson, aka, Portorian Greengard. Prior to this episode I got a chance to sit in with Porter on one of his sessions to get my first taste of the game and how the magic reveals itself. There is so much more to this game than meets the eye. The subculture is amazingly diverse and inclusive, there are numerous technologies that have been developed to accent the game and enhance the experience, and there are even documented therapeutic benefits to playing the game even one time!
Porter's passion for the game is palpable and only made me want to play even more. You can find Porter on Facebook: John Porter Henson. Check out the D&D section of your local games shop, look out for local gaming collectives, check out online resources like Role20 or D&D Beyond for a look at what the game looks like played. But for a first perspective, here is my conversation with Porter Henson.
