Episode 93: D&D and the Satanic Panic (Feb. Patron Roundtable)
01:23:09 Share

Our monthly Patron Chat comes together this week to discuss the Satanic Panic of the 1980s and how it relates to Dungeons and Dragons. Plenty of folks thought D&D was responsible for all manner of real-life heinous acts and as a result, public backlash caused changes to the game. What were its origins? What happened as a result during that period? And what ramifications are still being felt today?
