About this listen

Dr. Marc Andersen discusses the nature of surprise, and why surprise is at the very heart of play (and most of human functioning). We also discuss why (some) humans like horror, and why horror itself can be pleasurable and valuable (and how we can incorporate horror into our TTRPG practice).
