00:00

- [Narrator] Remember that game of D&D

00:01

you started when you were 11?

00:03

What if it never stopped?

00:05

- My name is Robert Wardhaugh.

00:06

I am a history professor

00:07

at the University of Wester Ontario.

00:09

I am a dungeon master

00:11

for a campaign that has been going on for 40 years.

00:14

- [Narrator] What began in secret with a few friends

00:17

has turned into a game that takes up much of Robert's life,

00:20

and most of his house.

00:21

Robert has around 30,000 hand-painted figurines,

00:25

countless custom made pieces of terrain

00:27

and dozens of devoted players taking part in his campaign.

00:31

- If you're gonna keep a game going for 40 years,

00:33

it's gonna have to be a good game.

00:35

If you're gonna have people who are gonna wanna play

00:36

and are gonna wanna fly in,

00:38

you're gonna have to offer a product

00:39

that is going to be better than all the other alternatives

00:42

that are out there.

00:43

I can certainly say with confidence

00:45

that this is the best Dungeons and Dragons game

00:47

in the world.

00:48

[cinematic music]

00:54

So if I'm playing for 10 hours a week,

00:56

at 52 weeks in a year,

00:58

that means, if I'm doing that times 40,

01:00

that would be 20,800 hours.

01:04

- [Producer] How many minutes is that?

01:05

[Robert laughs]

01:06

- So if I figured that out in minutes,

01:08

that would end up being 1.24 million minutes, I think.

01:15

As you crest the ridge, there seems to be quite a commotion.

01:19

You estimate it could be as many as two dozen or so goblins.

01:23

You surprise them as much as they have surprised you.

01:27

I need a surprise roll.

01:30

- [Narrator] That's really just the start.

01:32

Almost every major decision in Robert's life

01:35

is designed to keep the game going.

01:37

- When I was buying a house, the most important part for me

01:41

was getting a gaming space that I could use.

01:43

My entire basement is my gaming area.

01:46

- [Narrator] If he doesn't slow down,

01:48

he's gonna need a bigger house.

01:50

[light music]

01:52

- I have a lot of figs.

01:53

I've got Orcs, I've got elves, I've got dwarves,

01:56

I've got all the basic things that you'd expect,

01:58

but I also have very distinct and unique figs.

02:01

I have vampires, I have undead, I have zombies,

02:04

I have werewolves, beholders.

02:07

Tiamat, the mother of all dragons.

02:09

All the big demonic lords from the Demogorgon.

02:13

- The Demogorgon!

02:13

[kids groaning]

02:14

- What deep [beep].

02:15

- But also heroes.
