About this listen

The Mind Games Podcast exists where insufferable D&D and TTRGP fandom intersects with psychological and anthropological research. No-one needed or asked for this podcast, and yet here it is.


Mind Games is hosted by Dr. Rohan Kapitany and Dr. Kathryn Francis. Both experimental psychologists; the former a scholar of reality beliefs, imagination, pretend play, ritual, and religion, while the latter is a scholar of virtual reality, morality, judgement and decision making behavior.

    Language and Monsters in the real world and D&D - S01E07
    Aug 7 2024
    Dr. Sean Roberts (Linguist) and Dr. Tim Knowleton (Anthropologist) talk language, tropes, and monsters. How can tropes be immersive, and how can you use language (and accents) for rich world-building, and we ask the question 'when is a monster not a monster?'. Also, when should you blink.
