A Brief History of D&D

I realized some foundational episodes were in order to try to get everyone who listens on the same page. First up with that is this history of the world's first role playing game: D&D. 50 years of history is far more than a single hour long episode can handle so for this I focused on the various editions of the game, why they came about, what their goals were, and how they did.
