Show Notes
Step into a revealing conversation with Mr. Roger Peters—the creative mind behind Epic Sages—where we explore tabletop role-playing games as more than entertainment. This is geek culture with a purpose.
We talk about what makes TTRPGs so powerful: shared storytelling, imagination under pressure, and the underrated art of flexibility—learning to adapt when the dice do what dice do, and the story refuses to follow your plan (which is basically life with better character sheets). We also explore the therapeutic side of the table: how role-play can support identity work, emotional processing, social connection, and meaning-making—while still being honest about the challenges that can show up in group dynamics, boundaries, and intense narratives.
If you love stories, psychology, creativity, and the strange magic of collaborative worlds, this episode is for you.
