A one-night, rules-light tabletop RPG that plunges players into the pulps! Inspired by masters of the strange story, including Lovecraft, Rod Serling, Ursula K. Le Guin, Octavia Butler, Clark Ashton Smith and Robert E. Howard (just to name a few).

From the birth of roleplaying to the discovery of the Forgotten Realms, from the rise of Basic D&D to the fall of Mystara, historian Shannon Appelcline brings you the story of OD&D, Basic D&D, and AD&D 1e in Designers & Dragons: Origins.
