In this month’s “Behind the Issue,” Editor-in-chief Micah Barnes talks with writer MJ Montgomery and arts and culture editor Kate Ramseyer about the Dungeons and Dragons scene in Columbia. This popular tabletop role-playing game can be played in living rooms or cafes like Hexagon Alley. With the right people — and a bit of imagination — Columbians have embraced D&D as a way to get goofy and build a community. Montgomery and Ramseyer discuss what they learned from local dungeon masters, while drawing on their own experiences with the game.
