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

Quick disclaimer: Heidegger was a terrible person and a dedicated Nazi, and we will dive into what is useful about his philosophy as well as the ways his antisemitism are ingrained in his philosophy.
