  • Language and Monsters in the real world and D&D - S01E07

    Language and Monsters in the real world and D&D - S01E07
    2024/08/07
    Dr. Sean Roberts (Linguist) and Dr. Tim Knowleton (Anthropologist) talk language, tropes, and monsters. How can tropes be immersive, and how can you use language (and accents) for rich world-building, and we ask the question 'when is a monster not a monster?'. Also, when should you blink.

    Exploring imaginary worlds in D&D - S01E05
    2024/03/22

    Edgar Duborg and Valentin Thouzeau discuss why humans invent imaginary worlds. What makes us want to create, explore and elaborate upon them? We discuss everything from Stardew Valley to Lord of the Rings, and how this applies to the co-constructed worlds of TTRPGs.

  • The boundaries of the real and imagined in D&D - S01E04

    The boundaries of the real and imagined in D&D - S01E04
    2024/03/14

    Where and how do we draw a boundary between what we imagine, and what we are? Between the person we are at work and at home? And whether or not the characters we play are something alien, or just an extension of ourselves that we merely give permission to exist.

  • The virtue of surprise and the taboo of D&D - S01E03

    The virtue of surprise and the taboo of D&D - S01E03
    2024/03/07

    Dr. Marc Andersen discusses the nature of surprise, and why surprise is at the very heart of play (and most of human functioning). We also discuss why (some) humans like horror, and why horror itself can be pleasurable and valuable (and how we can incorporate horror into our TTRPG practice). Also, a brief discussion of cancer and death, whynot?

  • Moral Psychology and D&D - S01E02

    Moral Psychology and D&D - S01E02
    2024/03/01

    Dr. Kathryn Francis and Dr. Ethan Landes discuss the moral implications of playing D&D, and why we care about things that do not exist. We also discuss to what extent we should embrace the messiness of morality in absurd fantasy games, rather than clean, pure, solvable moral positions.
