Reading D&D Aloud

Author: Ben Riggs

It's like Bible study for D&D fanatics! Slaying the Dragon author and historian Ben Riggs & TRPG scholar Dr. Scott M. Bruner read and analyze the most sacred texts of Dungeons & Dragons (from original edition rules to modern adventures)! They are often joined by special guests, including current and former Wizards employees, contemporary academics, and modern designers, to meditate on the inspirations, ambitions, past & future of the medium of tabletop roleplaying. Listen to a historian, an academic, and some special guests read D&D texts aloud and comment on them!

3 Poets Turn to RPG Design- A conversation with Adam Good, Jamie Perez, & Justin Sirois Episode 79
Sunday, 16 November, 2025

My favorite RPG book of the year is a book of spaceship p*rn designed by two poets! INFINITY OF SHIPS is random tables for spaceship creation along with stunning artwork and essays that are as fun as they are engaging. The book was brought to us by Adam Good & Jamie Perez, and the pair have another book Kickstarting right now: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/72stations/100-strangers-misfits-weirdos-and-outcasts-for-sci-fi-rpgs The show also features Justin Sirois, publisher at Severed Books and author of Sickest Witch, a D20 Folk Horror RPG which can be found here: https://www.severedbooks.com/ On Patreon, I posted my Gamehole Con seminar where I went over 18 years of leaked D&D sales data.
