Cover to Cover #106: Dungeons & Dragons 30th Anniversary

March 22, 2004 by Michael R. Mennenga

Dungeons & Dragons 30th Anniversary Special!

Dungeons and Dragons Players ManualDave Arneson
Co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, some 35 years ago is on the show to talk about how it all happened and how it has changed through the years. If you ever wondered where it came from and wanted to hear from the master himself, listen up!

Ed Stark & Bill Slavicsek, Wizards of the Coast
Ed and Bill are executives with WotC and are both heavily involved with the latest rendition of D&D at 3.5. Since Wizards has taken ownership of the game, an emphasis on broadening the reach of D&D has been applied. Board games, miniatures, computer games… many new ways for D&D enthusiasts, and even fantasy gaming fans in general, exist in which to enjoy this classic game.

Michael Stackpole
A talented writer in his own right (The Grand Crusade), Mike joins us to talk about the controversy which surrounded Dungeons & Dragons in the early 1980’s. It was total crap, and Michael has first hand knowledge of the events and will clear the air for all!
