Welcome to Dragon Talk

Inspiring Conversations About Dungeons & Dragons and the People Who Love to Play It

Narrado por: Greg Tito, Shelly Mazzanoble

If it seems like everyone you know is playing Dungeons & Dragons, it's because they are! After nearly five decades, the iconic roleplaying game is more popular than ever. Famous Hollywood actors and directors, therapists, educators, politicians, kids, parents, and grandparents all count themselves as fans. In Welcome to Dragon Talk, hosts of the official D&D podcast Shelly Mazzanoble and Greg Tito and their surprising guests show how this beloved pastime has amassed a diverse, tight-knit following of players who defy stereotypes.

Shelly and Greg recount some of their most inspiring interviews and illuminate how their guests use the core tenets of the game in everyday life. An A-list actor defends D&D by baring his soul (and his muscles) on social media. A teacher in a disadvantaged district in Houston creates a D&D club that motivates students to want to read and think analytically. A writer and live-streamer demonstrates how D&D-inspired communication breaks barriers and empowers people of color. Listeners will see why Dungeons & Dragons has remained such a pop culture phenomenon and how it has given this disparate and growing community the inspiration to flourish and spread some in-game magic into the real world.

Love Greg Tito

Although I don’t listen to Dragon Talk I do play D&D and did my first major campaign by watching Greg play Out of the Abyss on YouTube.

This is a collection of essays by him and Shelly - who I’m not familiar with but seems okay. I really liked listening to him talk about his experience with the game over time.

Narration was a little shaky compared to normal book narrators but it didn’t detract from anything and I had a great time.

I look forward to the second volume which they’ve promised (in my headcanon).
