Dungeons & Dragons Didn’t Just Change Video Games, It Changed The World


Even if you’ve never actually played it, Dungeons & Dragons will have played some role in your gaming life.

This trailer is for Dungeons & Dragons: A Documentary, a classy and in-depth look at the tabletop game which has, very quietly, become one of the most defining and important cultural institutions of the past three decades, its influence felt far outside the world of those who huddle around tables listening to a dungeon master.
