Chromatic Roses - The History of D&D: Satanic Panic
play

05/29/24 • 52 min

(Content warning: discussion of religious themes and cases of, but not specific details about, self harm and deaths in the fairly-distant past)

Demons? Witches?? Satanic Rituals?!? Wait... None of that? Just dice and pizza and... make believe? Hunh. But that's not what the news said!

This week in the Rose Garden, Soren and Caitie are continuing on through the History of D&D by expanding upon the era known as the "Satanic Panic". Did D&D instigate devil worship? Did the game make children go missing? Did every player immediately become a dice goblin? Well, spoiler alert, only one of those is true--but you'll have to tune in to find out for yourself!
