On making an alternate reality game for Dungeons & Dragons

At the heart of many an immersonaut’s journey is #SOMEDND, the “DND” being Dungeons & Dragons, and as it just so happens that hashtag stood for a recent livestream extravaganza called the Stream of Many Eyes.

Now, why is NoPro talking about live-streaming D&D?

Well for one, the lead up to the stream was a multiverse hopping alternate reality game (#NoStoneUnturned) that called upon the powers of transmedia producer Emmett Furey and puzzle designer Elisa Teague, who join us on this week’s episode to talk about the ARG, mixing tabletop gaming with escape room-like puzzles, and the renaissance in roleplaying games.

Look: we always knew it was going to come down to Dungeons & Dragons. It’s almost a surprise it took this long to get here.
