Dungeons & Dialectics
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

Wow! If you've been listening for the past two weeks, you're probably wondering when the f*ck we're going to start talking about RPGs again. I mean, what is this? Where are the dungeons? Where are the dragons? Where are the stories from games we've played? Well Matt's been thinking the same thing, so get ready to apply our thoughts on Trolley Problems and ethical dilemmas to the game! Sources: Thi...
Ep. 4: Splat! Splat! Splat! Went the Trolley (part 1) 21.09.2021 30:23
Spock: "Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." Kirk: "Or the one." - The Wrath of Khan , 1982 OR DOES IT? Is Spock right, or is he just full of sh*t?

Listen as Matt and Joe tackle one of ethics' most famous and memeable thought experiments, the Trolley...
Ep. 3: Slapping Jesus 14.09.2021 24:34
When Matt's friend Faraz decides to play Jesus Christ in their next campaign, he calls on Joe to examine Faraz's pacifist savior. In the real world, violent crusades and genocide in the name of God seem to violate Jesus's peaceful teachings... But what do Jesus and the Church say about violence? How do we resist violence? When is violence allowed? Is it EVER allowed? Does it matter who commits the...
