Description

WHEN WE WERE WIZARDS is a 14-episode documentary podcast that charts the rise and fall of Gary Gygax, the co-creator of the role-playing-game phenomenon Dungeons & Dragons and co-founder of the company that produced it, TSR Hobbies. It’s a story about the personal toll success can exact on friendships and families, especially when corrupted by greed, lust, and human folly.


WHEN WE WERE WIZARDS is told in the voices of the people who were there - covering everything from the game's creation, to the Satanic Panic, TSR's dysfunction, Gary's adventures in Hollywood and more. Never before has this tale included so many insights, discoveries, heart-wrenching recollections, and stunning revelations.


This is a story for anyone interested in unique subcultures, Americana, corporate chaos, history, cautionary tales, and human drama.
