Trigger Warning: This episode discusses self harm and that may be difficult for some listeners. In this episode Marc and Kristina welcome special guest (and Dungeons and Dragons enthusiast) Dave Conger. We discuss Dungeons and Dragons history -- particularly the Satanic Panic that erupted in the mid 80s around the game; how to play the game; and we actually play a little bit of an adventure with Marc and Dungeon Master, Dave as the ranger Silric, and Kristina as a elf wizard called Siofra.
