About this audiobook
If it seems like everyone you know is playing Dungeons Dragons, it's because they are! After nearly five decades, the iconic roleplaying game is more popular than ever. Famous Hollywood actors and directors, therapists, educators, politicians, kids, parents, and grandparents all count themselves as fans. In Welcome to Dragon Talk, hosts of the official DD podcast Shelly Mazzanoble and Greg Tito and their surprising guests show how this beloved pastime has amassed a diverse, tight-knit following of players who defy stereotypes.
Shelly and Greg recount some of their most inspiring interviews and illuminate how their guests use the core tenets of the game in everyday life. An A-list actor defends DD by baring his soul (and his muscles) on social media. A teacher in a disadvantaged district in Houston creates a DD club that motivates students to want to read and think analytically. A writer and live-streamer demonstrates how DD-inspired communication breaks barriers and empowers people of color. Listeners will see why Dungeons Dragons has remained such a pop culture phenomenon and how it has given this disparate and growing community the inspiration to flourish and spread some in-game magic into the real world.
