Dr. Angela Lauria and Matt Lowry, LPP discuss how tabletop roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons appeal to many autistic people due to the game's intricate rule systems, statistics, and logic. D&D allows autistics to socialize with confidence in a structured, inclusive environment of shared world-building.They explain how D&D provides a space for Autistic strengths like monotropic focus, special interests, pattern recognition, and world-building to take center stage. The design of the game encourages players to embrace differences rather than mask them, including a recent introduction of a canonically Autistic character!Historic moral panics around D&D are highlighted as examples of misunderstandings and ableism towards autistic interests. The hosts see the game's recent mainstream popularity as a shift towards acceptance.“Because of ableists in society, anything we do is inherently wrong because we are not like them and we don't do the things that they do. And they are going to find reasons to criticize anything we do for us being different from them.” —Matt They note famous examples of D&D's popularity in media, including the show Stranger Things. The character-building and communal storytelling aspects of the game—which play to Autistic strengths—are emphasized.“I am a non-fiction reader and a big part of why…is I don't have a picture-things-in-your-mind's-eye gene, and a lot of fiction sort of requires—to enjoy it—that you can imagine the scene. So for me, one of the things I've always liked about D&D is you can say to your—especially if you have a good DM—'What is that? Tell me more about that feature, that trait, or that thing.'” —AngelaThe podcast hosts conclude D&D allows autistics to socialize and build community safely and effectively. Families of autistic individuals can better understand intense interests in gaming as tools for connection. There is great value in embracing neurodiversity.Who's your character in D&D?

Rise of the Dungeon Master: Gary Gygax and the Creation of D and D (Nation Books, 2017) by David Kushner and illustrated by Koren Shadmi is a gorgeous depiction of the late E. Gary Gygax’s life and times. Gygax’s story and the tale of D and D’s genesis is ideally suited to the graphic novel format, and Kushner — who met and even gamed with Gygax — conveys these twin narratives well. Shadmi’s illustrations blend the mundane with the fantastical, and the striking cover art alone is sure to win Rise of the Dungeon Master a place on many comic collectors’ shelves. I happily recommend it to anyone looking for a short overview of the subject, and certainly anyone with a love of both comic books and D and D. Learn more about your ad choices.

Time Codes: 00:00:31 - Introduction 00:02:39 - Announcement of the 2017 Eisner Award nominees 00:08:13 - Last weekend's Free Comic Book Day 00:18:45 - Herman by Trade 00:41:43 - Rise of the Dungeon Master 01:09:03 - Eternal Empire #1 01:27:04 - Wrap up 01:27:56 - Contact us   This week Andy and Derek look at three new titles, each one visiting the fantastic in one form or another. Before they jump into the reviews, however, they discuss some of the big comics news from the past week: the announcement of the 2017 Eisner Award nominations and Free Comic Book Day. The guys don't go into too much detail about the Eisner nominees because they plan on devoting an upcoming episode to that topic. However, they do briefly mention the curious situation surrounding the nomination of the Love Is Love collection in the Best Anthology category. They have much more to say about last Saturday's Free Comic Book Day. Both guys share some of their experiences at their local shops and the free comics they got there. Listen to the podcast's FCBD episode for more details. But then the Two Guys get into the heart of this week's show. They begin with Chris W. Kim's Herman by Trade, coming out this week from SelfMadeHero. Although on the surface this appears to be a more realistic narrative, its fantastic elements become apparent in the transformation of the title character who has the ability to change his appearance and mimic others' abilities at will. As both Derek and Andy point out, this is an unusual story that sticks with you long after reading. Next, they turn to a new graphic biography that is all about fantasy, Rise of the Dungeon Master: Gary Gygax and the Creation of D&D (Nation Books). The art is by Koren Shadmi, but the book is written by David Kushner, based on a profile he wrote for Wired magazine in 2008. What's most notable about this brief biography is the narrative point of view, almost entirely presented in the second person. This is fully in keeping with the spirit of role-playing games, where in this case the the narrating presence is, in essence, your "dungeon master" guiding your awareness as you enter the creators' biographical realm. Finally, Andy and Derek conclude with the latest collaboration from Jonathan Luna and Sarah Vaughn. Eternal Empire #1 (Image Comics) is a fantasy set in a distant world that, as Andy points out, is reminiscent of Game of Thrones. In fact, the guys spend a good bit of time speculating on the originality of this series, wondering if the unique elements will become more apparent in the issues to come. And while Andy isn't sure if he'll stick around to find out, Derek is going to give Eternal Empire a chance, especially given his appreciation of the Luna brothers' previous comics, and especially Luna and Vaughn's previous series Alex + Ada.

It's the first part of March, which means it must be time for the Two Guys with PhDs to look through the latest Previews catalog. Before they do that, though, they alert readers to this month's #trypod social media campaign and encourage listeners to share their love of The Comics Alternative by using that hashtag along with #try2guys. Next, they give a big THANK YOU to Kristin and Thomas at the Secret Stacks podcast for their recent shout-out. Then they get into the March Previews catalog, highlighting a variety of upcoming titles from both large and small publishers alike. Among the upcoming comics they discuss are offerings from: Dark Horse Comics - Ether, Volume 1: Death of the Last Golden Blaze, Glister, Joe Golem: Occult Detective - The Outer Dark #1, and H.P. Lovecraft's The Hound and Other Stories DC/Vertigo - Bug!: The Adventures of Forager #1, DC Horror: House of Secrets, Vol. 1, and The American Way: The 10th Anniversary Edition IDW Publishing/Top Shelf - Saucer State #1, Drawing and Life Lessons from Master Cartoonists, and Samaris Image Comics - Regression #1, Youngblood #1, Eternal Empire #1, The Dying and the Dead #4, Nothing Lasts Forever, and User Abstract Studios - Motor Girl, Volume 1: Real Life AdHouse - Please Destroy My Enemies and Your Black Friend Aftershock Comics - Pestilence #1 and The Normals #1 Alternative Comics - The Diary of Menorah Horowitz and Resurrection Perverts, Vol. 1: Hunter's Point Bergen Street Press - Revenger and the Fog BOOM!
