Parallel to our Fincher series and general film pieces, Frame Work has decided to undertake a longer form look at video games and RPGs in particular. We begin with a prequel of sorts, examining the genesis and lasting, sneakily huge impacts of the grandaddy of role-playing games in all forms, Dungeons & Dragons.
We have a grand old time discussing the oddball marriage of pure unfettered imagination and rigid, statistical game mechanics, its relation to theater and computer nerdery, how intellectual property litigation shapes all our lives, the signature D20 dice-rolling system as a tool for understanding white privilege, and all kinds of other stuff.
