Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons
The original roleplaying game, Dungeons & Dragons, turns 50 years old in 2024. This is the official newsletter for 50 Years in the Dungeon—a livestream podcast created to celebrate the golden anniversary of the world’s first and still most popular tabletop RPG.
Hosted by Stan! Brown, award-winning cartoonist and game designer, who worked on staff at both TSR (the company that created D&D) and Wizards of the Coast (the company that publishes it now) as a game designer, editor, and creative director, 50 Years in the Dungeon is a unique combination of interview show and live art event. Each week, Stan! hosts top names from the world of tabletop gaming for conversations about the history of D&D and their connections to the game. At the same time, you can watch as he creates a cartoon homage to a classic piece of D&D art.
This free newsletter is the place to stay informed about upcoming shows, see the finished cartoon homage artwork before it is shown to the public, get the option to purchase exclusive signed prints of the cartoon homages, submit questions for guests, and vote to help influence what topics and classic products will be discussed. Plus, each month one subscriber will receive a signed exclusive art print of one of the homages created on the show.
