Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! For our second Parleys at the Platter quarterly special, I invited Dr. Holly Ordway, Alexi Sargeant, and Katherine Spitler to discuss something that I'm not sure is talked about all that often: the critical role (pun win) that Tolkien and his Catholicism had in helping to shape Dungeons & Dragons, modern fantasy, and nerd culture at large.

We join the table of my niece, Lexi! She's never been a stranger to playing pretend, fairy stories, or using her imagination. So she rolled some dice and made an Astral Elf that is friends with a dragon! I don't think she's old enough to understand the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or the Radiohead reference, but she's pretty "Lucky" that her "Subterranean Homesick Alien" wasn't some kind of "Paranoid Android".
