We are Erik & Robert. Two guys from Portland Oregon who play and run Dungeons & Dragons. Dungeons & Tangents is our Podcast where we discuss a myriad of topics surrounding D&D. The culture, the mechanics, new product releases, common mistakes. We cover the full breadth of the D&D world. And sometimes we get caught in rabbit holes... Also; we can be persuaded to talk about anything with bribes of dice and miniatures.

Role-playing games have had a difficult time getting along with religion, and specifically American Christians. From the start, there was a disconnect between them. Sadly, misunderstandings in the early 80's started a feud that continues to this day. It's a difficult and sensitive subject, but we will discuss that and more, this week on Dungeons & Tangents.
