ABOUT THIS EPISODE

PLAYING TO ALIGNMENT (Remastered!) - Navigating the Ethical Minefield with Dr. Terry Macmullan

In this remastered episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we discuss the philosophical intricacies of tabletop roleplaying games with Dr. Terry Macmullan. From lawful good to chaotic evil, alignment has been a staple of RPGs for decades. But why do some players love it while others loathe it? Join us as we explore the history, impact, and various interpretations of alignment in tabletop gaming. Let's roll the dice and get started!
