Join us on OH!CAST for an in-depth conversation with Michael Tresca of the Committee for the Advancement of Role Playing Games (CAR-PGA). This episode is a mirror of Hereward's original interview, diving into the history and ongoing work of defending RPGs.

In this episode, you’ll discover:


  • The origins of CAR-PGA and why it was formed in the 1980s to combat attacks on tabletop role-playing games.
  • The group's research that proved charges against RPGs had "no foundation in fact."
  • How CAR-PGA's focus has shifted from game defense to a comprehensive study of all aspects of RPGs.
  • The role of the organization in responding to modern-day attacks on the hobby with historical context and hard facts.


This is a must-listen for anyone interested in the history of role-playing games and the defense of the gaming community.
