Welcome to the Director's Dungeon podcast, where we pull back the curtain on the making of the upcoming documentary, Roll For Togetherness, formerly 50 Years of Fantasy. Hosted by Katie, this podcast takes you on a behind-the-scenes journey with the film’s director (and her husband), Chris Moreland. Together, they explore the creative process, the challenges of filmmaking, and the joyful community that has grown around Dungeons & Dragons over the past five decades.

In this episode, we discuss:

•The origins of the 50 Years of Fantasy documentary

•The joy of connecting with creators, fans, and innovators across the world

•How D&D’s mechanics and ethos have influenced modern gaming and pop culture

•The responsibility of authentically telling this story

Join us as we share stories from nearly 60,000 miles of travel, including visits to iconic locations like Lake Geneva, Wisconsin (the birthplace of D&D), Lucas Oil Stadium during GenCon, and even a 600-year-old castle in Northern England. Whether you’re a lifelong tabletop gamer or simply curious about the cultural phenomenon of D&D, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the people, art, and imagination behind this enduring legacy.
