- [Narrator] Remember that game of D&D
you started when you were 11?
What if it never stopped?
- My name is Robert Wardhaugh.
I am a history professor
at the University of Wester Ontario.
I am a dungeon master
for a campaign that has been going on for 40 years.
- [Narrator] What began in secret with a few friends
has turned into a game that takes up much of Robert's life,
and most of his house.
Robert has around 30,000 hand-painted figurines,
countless custom made pieces of terrain
and dozens of devoted players taking part in his campaign.
- If you're gonna keep a game going for 40 years,
it's gonna have to be a good game.
If you're gonna have people who are gonna wanna play
and are gonna wanna fly in,
you're gonna have to offer a product
that is going to be better than all the other alternatives
that are out there.
I can certainly say with confidence
that this is the best Dungeons and Dragons game
in the world.
[cinematic music]
So if I'm playing for 10 hours a week,
at 52 weeks in a year,
that means, if I'm doing that times 40,
that would be 20,800 hours.
- [Producer] How many minutes is that?
[Robert laughs]
- So if I figured that out in minutes,
that would end up being 1.24 million minutes, I think.
As you crest the ridge, there seems to be quite a commotion.
You estimate it could be as many as two dozen or so goblins.
You surprise them as much as they have surprised you.
I need a surprise roll.
- [Narrator] That's really just the start.
Almost every major decision in Robert's life
is designed to keep the game going.
- When I was buying a house, the most important part for me
was getting a gaming space that I could use.
My entire basement is my gaming area.
- [Narrator] If he doesn't slow down,
he's gonna need a bigger house.
[light music]
- I have a lot of figs.
I've got Orcs, I've got elves, I've got dwarves,
I've got all the basic things that you'd expect,
but I also have very distinct and unique figs.
I have vampires, I have undead, I have zombies,
I have werewolves, beholders.
Tiamat, the mother of all dragons.
All the big demonic lords from the Demogorgon.
- The Demogorgon!
[kids groaning]
- What deep [beep].
- But also heroes.
