Ooh that's a good one! And quite concise by Colville's standards
/jI need to get me my hands on The Elusive Shift, as well!
I almost skipped over this video, because I thought it was about some other drama about the origins of D&D, which is mostly just outrage tourism.
Happy to be mistaken! It's been a little bit since I watched Matt Colville, so I'll give this a watch when I have the time. And it includes a book recommendation on top of that!
This book sounds absolutely fascinating. I love weird obscure, hobby history. It's why I really miss the history segments of The Great British Bake Off (even though some people apparently found them boring?). I'll definitely have to add it to my list of books to get.
I love that kind of history. On the topic of cooking, Tasting History is one of my favorites!
And I'm also adding that book to my reading list. I'm kicking myself for not reading enough books, but I've gone on a nonfiction kick out of nowhere.
Wow this video was an absolutely fascinating look at the origin and early history of our hobby. I want to highlight specific bits of it that were particularly interesting, but honestly there were so many of them all I can say is just watch it.
