Wow! If you've been listening for the past two weeks, you're probably wondering when the f*ck we're going to start talking about RPGs again. I mean, what is this? Where are the dungeons? Where are the dragons? Where are the stories from games we've played? Well Matt's been thinking the same thing, so get ready to apply our thoughts on Trolley Problems and ethical dilemmas to the game!

This episode is based almost exclusively on our own experiences and the theoretical groundwork laid in last week's episode, but check out Miguel Sicart for some more reflections on ethical dilemmas in gaming:
