Folks, we're headed to GenCon next week (Click here to see the schedule of FH shows and games) and I've got GAME on the BRAIN. Where do TTRPGS come from? What the hell ARE they even? What can we "learn"* from their origin story? Ben Riggs, author of the brand new Slaying the Dragon: A Secret History of D&D stopped by the Fortunate Horse studio to answer these questions, and deliver unto you a secret origin that includes

-H.G. Wells

-The Bronte Sisters

-The Prussian Military

-Zeus

and more! Find the full interview on our patreon at any level!
