The synthesis of tabletop roleplaying games, philosophy and theology! RPGs are full of opportunities to make choices, face ethical dilemmas, and use the fantasy world as a proxy for considering our own reality. They're basically trolley problems on steroids! Join Joe and Matt as we reflect on what RPGs can teach us about philosophy, theology, and political theory, and what these fields can teach us about RPGs. How can RPGs help us understand the world? How can these reflections help us become better players and Dungeon Masters? Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/dnd_philosophy

Join Matt and Joe as Joe struggles to explain a weird non-scholarly way to interpret biblical prophecies that he doesn't know anything about. What are the dispensations? Where does the Rapture come from? Why do so many people think we're living in the end of the world??? And why do we need some red cows to get there? Only one way to find out...

    S2 E3 Shadow of the Demon Lord: Eschatology and roleplaying at the end of the world

    It's the end of the world and we know it! This spooky season, join us for our recap of our first time playing Shadow of the Demon Lord, a medieval-renaissance fantasy roleplaying game at the end of the world.

PART II ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Keep in touch on Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and support us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!
