  • Resumen

  • WHEN WE WERE WIZARDS (W4) is a 14-episode podcast series that charts the rise and fall of Gary Gygax, co-creator of the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. Taking a journalistic approach to blow open the known ”gospel” of D&D history, W4 draws from nearly 30 interview subjects – including Gary’s ex- wife, two children, employees, friends, and partners. From Gary’s basement in the early 60s to the 1985 boardroom coup that ripped the game from his control, W4 is a sweeping story about the cost of the American Dream when idealistic ambition is corrupted by greed, lust, and human folly.

An Extremely Captivating Story!

I love the flow and pace of all the information presented by top notch vocal performances. Even if you don't play D&D, this is a very interesting podcast!

Showing the Human Side of a Fantasy Legend

Rich, amazing podcast! I knew the story of the rise and fall of TSR pretty well, but this excellent show added so much detail and character. One of my fantasy heroes, Gary Gygax, takes a bit of a beating, but it just makes him and his story that much more human. TSR is like a Greek tragedy. Paul and Adam do a wonderful job!
