Have you ever played Dungeon and Dragons? It's my favorite game to play!
I actually have not, I have heard of friends playing it before. I know that it is a very sociable game based on fantasy. Who do you usually play with?
I play with my wife, another couple, and my best friend. And you're right, it's fantasy tale. It's not based on winning or losing. It's based on cooperation and creating an epic story. It's the most immersive experience I have ever had. More so than TV, books, or movies. 
That sounds great! It definitely sounds like a good time. I know it sometimes gets a bad rep though as people don't really understand it or only know of it based on depictions of it in media like the series stranger things. When did you start playing? 
Yeah, it was really popular during the Satanic Panic, where people thought that it was somehow demonic because it was fantasy. I'm religious myself and I see no conflict. It was just misinformation spread by fear-mongers. I started playing in high school. I was kind of nerdy and a loner, so it gave me a social outlet. It was kind of life-saver. Now, being nerdy is a cool thing, so it's not as stigmatized. Do you enjoy fantasy books or movies? If so, D and D may be right up your alley?
That's great, glad you could see past the misinformation and enjoy it for what is meant to be- a social outlet. I do enjoy fantasy books and movies on occasion so I may just have to try it out. I find it amazing that this game has been around since 1974! 
I know, right? It came out right around the time that Nixon resigned. That's a long time ago. I think with the Game of Thrones phenomenon. It has increased in popularity. Plus, millenials are a little more liberated when it comes to art. If you want an intro to D and D, I suggest watching Critical Role youtube series where they have campaigns that last like 100 episdoes.
Yes, definitely I think Game of thrones really changed peoples perspective on what "Fantasy" could be. Many people who hadn't previously interested in things like D & D are now being exposed and it has become a big part of culture. Did you have any friends that began playing as a result of the Game of thrones craze?
The couple that we play D&D with got into fantasy threw Game of Thrones and then reading the books. Since they loved it so much, I told them about D and D, and they watched some youtube videos on character building, world-building, etc. and phoned me up wanting to have a game night. We've been on one campaign for like 6 months. You get so emotionally invested. It's like you are living in a movie. 
Wow! That is great that you were able to help them get more interested and involved. Is 6 months the longest you have spent on one campaign before?
When I was in college, I played a campaign that lasted about 16 months. The story just kept growing and growing. You never know how long a campaign is going to be, since it depends on character choices and the Dungeon Master's guidance.
