Parleys at the Platter #4: Art, Creativity, and D&D

Kurt Crenwelge — Thu, 25 Dec 2025 08:00:00 -0600

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! For our fourth Parleys at the Platter special, I invited Lauren Walsh, Mandi Quin, Britt Anderson, Katherine, and Hank "DnDoodles" to discuss the fundamental elements that make D&D work: Art & Creativity! From the little brown books to the explosion of digital media, the world of art and creativity surrounding D&D continues to grow and expand over these last 50 years. How are we inspired? How can we continue to explore? And what are the technological challenges and ideological pitfalls must we confront like the Tomb of Horrors?

And note: I've included the raw transcript from Zencastr for this episode as well (will work to go back and retrieve and upload others as I'm able). Please note the transcripts are the UNEDITED version, not the final edit you are listening to.
