Dungeons & Dragons, the most influential role-playing game of all time, turns the big Four-Oh this year. Bob Kruger talks with designers of the various D&D designs and redesigns over the years, many of them from the Wizards of the Coast team that relaunched Dungeons and Dragons for a new generation. These are the people who made D&D what it is today, in their own words. From Tolkien to Jung to evolutionary biology and heuristics, Bob dissects D&D from every possible angle, getting at the heart of what has given the game such staying power.
