One of our all-time favorite guests, Jon Peterson, D D historian extraordinaire, returns to talk all things about the 50th anniversary of D D. From his official Making of Original Dungeons Dragons 1970-1977 , participation in Gen Con 50th anniversary celebrations, inclusion in the MIT Press Fifty Years of Dungeons Dragons book, and the hotly-anticipated re-release of his seminal Playing at the World , he's been super busy this year! Dan Paul will catch up with him and find out what the highlights and new discoveries have been. • • The original Dungeons Dragons (commonly abbreviated D D) boxed set by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson was published by TSR, Inc. in 1974. It included the original edition of the Dungeons Dragons fantasy role-playing game. • • The original Dungeons Dragons boxed set was the first published role-playing game, a fantasy game system modeled on medieval Europe. This set introduced elements which would become standard in later editions, including abilities (such as strength, intelligence, and dexterity); character classes (fighting-man, magic-user, cleric) and character levels; races (human, dwarf, elf, halfling); armor class; monsters and treasure; underground dungeons consisting of halls, rooms, and doors protected by tricks and traps; and magic items, such as intelligent swords. The set also presents rules for travelling through the wilderness by land and sea, hiring specialists as well as men-at-arms, constructing fortifications and establishing baronies. The set defines movement rates and areas are using inches, like that of the miniatures rules from which the system descended. • • Check out the Making of Original Dungeons Dragons 1970-1977 - https://www.amazon.com/Dungeons-Drago... • Find the Second Edition of Playing at the World Here - https://mitpress.mit.edu/978026254877... • • #dnd #anniversary #jonpeterson #gencon #ttrpg #podcast #wanderingdms • • Wandering DMs Paul Siegel and Dan “Delta” Collins host thoughtful discussions on D D and other TTRPGs every week.
