In this episode, Enku and Anjel interview Anjel’s spouse and nesting partner, Puppy, about his favorite pastime and now budding career as a game master for tabletop roleplaying game, namely Dungeon and Dragons. In this conversation, they discuss the current popularity of this once niche and nerdy activity with shows like Stranger Things and Vox Machina and dive into some of  D&D and gamer culture’s problematic past.
