RTFM: Rules to the Game of Dungeon

Max Lander and Aaron King dig through RPGs of yore to bring you valuable nuggets of mechanics, lore, and strangeness. They read the fucking manual so that you don't have to. This episode, we're joined by Adam Waldron-Blain to talk about Minneapolis Dungeon, a set of rules recorded by a 14-year-old in 1974. Was it the first D&D hack? What's it mean to build community through RPGs? And how can we relate to the problematic material of the games of yesteryear? You can get a free & legal copy of Rules to the Game of Dungeon via Jon Peterson's "Playing at the World" blog.
