The D&D Class That Caused a Moral Panic

Quick question: which D&D class do you think caused actual religious panic in the 1970s? Not the Warlock. Not anything demon-themed. The Druid. In this episode, I dig into the real history behind the Druid class — the ancient Celtic priesthood it's actually named after, the controversial 1976 sourcebook it debuted in alongside the game's first demon lords, and the genuinely strange rules that governed Druids in early editions. What's covered: 🌳 The real Roman historical accounts the Druid class pulls its whole identity from 📖 Why the Druid was born in the same book that got D&D branded dangerous by parents' groups 🐺 The bizarre rules Druids used to follow — including a literal combat requirement to rank up 🐻 The long, strange history of Wild Shape and how it's changed across editions If you play D&D and want the lore and history behind the game — not build guides, not "top 10" lists — this channel is for you.
