How D&D Took Over Sports Arenas with Brennan Lee Mulligan

In the past several years, the tabletop roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons has firmly made the leap from subculture to pop culture. Massively popular “actual play” shows like Dimension 20 now sell out arenas like Madison Square Garden, a feat which would have been unheard of not so long ago. This week, Adam speaks with Dimension 20 creator and game master Brennan Lee Mulligan about the stratospheric rise in popularity of D&D, the changing entertainment landscape, and what the insidious machinations of capitalism have to do with a game about goblins.
