We begin our journey into the most despised tactic any player of TTRPG's
 can deploy--metagaming! In this first episode on the subject, Joey 
investigates some of Matt's intuitions on what is and is not metagaming. Matt is revealed to be a weirdo with janky intuitions that don't track the phenomenon at all. Shocking!

38. METAGAMING Pt. 1

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?
