Back to EpisodesSaving Throes # 37 - Pages Through the Ages: 50 Years of Edition Changes in D&D
Description
Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.
Happy 50th birthday D&D - January 2024 marks the 50th anniversary of this landmark game. This week I decided to do another Pages Through the Ages segment and focus on the different editions of D&D since its inception, and what each edition is remembered for. Each one brought something new to the table and permanently transformed what we knew about the game. As a result, just about every edition change brought with it its own version of an edition war. Despite all of that, D&D is more popular today than it has ever been before! I thought it was the perfect time to reflect back and have a good overview of each editions identity over the years. In honesty, I wish I would have kicked off my D&D 50th anniversary Pages Through the Ages segments with this one, but better late than never! Tune in to hear my thoughts on all the prior editions of D&D, both good and bad.
