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

49. Christmas Origins

Where does Christmas come from? Some of you may have heard it's secretly a pagan subterfuge infiltrating our beloved Jesus's bday with trees and demon worship. Some of you may have heard actually all that plus the rampant consumerism was all part of God's plan! Matt and Joe are here to set the record straight once and for all about the magical beginnings of Christmas.
