Why is tabletop gaming so big in Seattle?

Seattle Now

About this episode

It’s official: Washington state is the tabletop gaming capital of the world. So says Secretary of State Steve Hobbs–or, as he’s known in Dungeons and Dragons, Happy Tracker Meow Meow. The Seattle region has achieved epic tier status, with international corporations, independent publishers, major conventions, cafes and pubs all dedicated to tabletop gaming. In this episode, Hobbs and Flatout Games co-founder Molly Johnson flex their high charisma with expertise in persuasion as they explain why Seattle is the gaming hotspot.
