  • Summary

  • Welcome to the Roll for Joycast, where every episode is a quest for holy wholeness! Join Rory the Dungeon Master Pastor and Trin, Jewish spiritual guide and budding therapist, as they dive into the world of tabletop roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons. Together, they explore how the magic of imaginative play reveals the deep joy and enduring hope at the core of our human experience. Plus, in our Game Design Theopoetics segment, we reimagine game elements to help us shed what alienates us from our full humanity and reconnect to our divine potential. Get ready to roll the dice for an interfaith journey into eucatastrophic adventure where we believe the dungeons can be escaped, the dragons can be overcome, and we can best do it together.

    Fearfully and Playfully Made
    Oct 19 2024

    Join us for the apotheosis of our Hero's Journey on episode 2 of the 'Roll for Joycast', where we quest in order to play our way to a world of holy wholeness. In this episode we welcome special guest Pastor Alex Smith as we talk about character creation and role play in tabletop roleplaying games and navigating the boxes of identity, like gender, sexuality, story, all that good stuff. Then we dismantle these boxes as we dive into the depths of the spiritual journey and talk about how play can get us to live outside the box.

  • Pluralism and Interfaith Relations in the World of D&D

    Pluralism and Interfaith Relations in the World of D&D
    Jun 16 2024

    We will discuss:

    1. The problem that shows up in gaming.
    2. Imaginatively expressing faith convictions through art, song, poetry, oral witness, and other embodied practices.
    3. Theopoetics is an acceptance of cognitive uncertainty regarding the Divine, an unwillingness to attempt to unduly banish that uncertainty, and an emphasis on action and creative articulation regardless.

    Potential solutions:

    1. Post-colonialist look at religious experience.
    2. Reframing in-game Religion.
    3. Move from existential fact to experiential form.
