What are Role-Playing Games?
Episode 156
Sunday, 25 January, 2026
What are Role-Playing Games?Today, we’re diving into one of the most fascinating - and frankly, most misunderstood - forms of interactive play: Role-Playing Games, or RPGs. So what are RPGs? Are they just about dice rolls and dragons? Are they all swords and stats? Or is there something deeper, and something profoundly human, about stepping into someone else’s shoes in a world that is not quite our own. Well, pull up a chair, and maybe grab your character sheet, and let’s explore what it really means to play a role, and why that matters now more than ever.
