Today, we ponder these and other questions in our continuing discussion of combat as war vs. combat as sport with Harvard's own, Dr. Christopher Robichaud!
Pick up the Robichaud-edited Dungeons & Dragons & Philosophy here!
Get a primer on old school gaming by Matthew J. Finch here!
Next month, we'll be releasing another of Ben's Gen Con seminars to Patrons. If you want that juicy historical goodness, join our Patreon here!
