Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons: A Review of Chapter 1
Rick and Morty, the cartoon inspired by Doc Brown and Marty McFly's relationship from the movie Back to the Future, has taken sci-fi comedic nihilism to new highs and lows.

The D&D Series Has Arrived
While we wait for the official Dungeons & Dragons movie to make its debut, fans of the tabletop game have something else to tide them over: a fantasy series that hews closely to its source material.

Dungeons & Dragons vs. Rick and Morty: A Review
The Stranger Things Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set was a no-brainer considering how wrapped into the TV series the role-playing game was.
