b'The death of Dungeons & Dragons co-creator Gary Gygax has me waxing nostalgic about my own D&D experiences. I agree John Hodgman about the level of math in the game, explain the concept of \\u201cSlacker D&D,? talk about my first character, and jealousy describe the D&D game J.R. is currently in. For added authenticity, this episode was recorded in my basement.\\n\\n

Thank you, Gary, for helping make roleplaying what it is today. You\\u2019ll be missed.\\n\\n

Special thanks to Jesse Thorne of The Sound of Young America over at maximumfun.org for letting me use a clip from his interview with John Hodgman. He truly is America\\u2019s Radio Sweetheart.\\n\\n
