The Thief & Rogue: D&D History
A look at the history of of the Thief (Rogue) class in D&D. I had the opportunity to chat with the creator of the class to learn about when, where, and why he created the class and how it ended up being published in a D&D supplement. I also chat about the evolution of the class over the course of several editions and decades from its original conception to its development and changes across 2E, 3E, 4E, and 5E.
