Once eliciting whispers of demon worship and dark magic, Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) has cemented its place in modern American pop culture. From references in New York Times bestselling novels like Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, to television episodes like "Monsters and Mana" on Voltron, or entire TV series (Stranger Things), the resurgence of D&D's popularity comes as no surprise to these panelists. Jose Molina (writer: Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999)), Robert Hewitt Wolfe (writer: Andromeda, Elementary), Satine Phoenix (community manager of Wizards of the Coast: Dungeons & Dragons), Mitch Iverson (writer: Voltron series), Tom DeSanto (X-Men, Transformers), and Andru Davies (BAFTA-nominated producer, The Party's Just Beginning) will discuss the resurgence of D&D's popularity and how the game has influenced their careers. Moderated by Anastasia Hunter.
