The DnD Campaign That Outlived Most Friendships

About this video

With its rich storytelling, elaborate campaigns and characters, and immersive fantasy worlds, Dungeons & Dragons is the ultimate tabletop role-playing game. In 1982, at just 14 years old, Dungeon Master Robert Wardhaugh began a campaign that’s still running many years later. Based out of his basement in London, Canada, players from across the country gather to take part in one of the longest-running D&D campaigns in history. But how do you play it? And most importantly, how do you play it well? In this episode, Great Big Story returns to Robert’s legendary game to explore its evolution, the secrets to a campaign’s longevity, and what it takes to play (and master) D&D for life. 00:00 - Introduction 00:42 - The Game 02:47 - The History 03:54 - Meet Robert Wardhaugh 05:38 - D&D Tips 07:50 - Outro Lead Producer: Sofia Couceiro Camera: Matt Taylor & Kyle Sawyer Editor: Sofia Couceiro & Matt Taylor Got a story idea for us?
