Polyhedral Prophets

Usu­al­ly when Chris­tians talk about role­play­ing games you can expect a lot of heat and very lit­tle light (art­ful­ly mocked by the Dead Alewives’ clas­sic bit Dun­geons and Drag­ons). That’s why I was so thrilled to run across the arti­cle Role­play­ing the Faith which con­tained sev­er­al fas­ci­nat­ing links.

Role­play­ing is a part of geek cul­ture, and Stan­ford is a bit of a geek cam­pus, so I thought these might inter­est some of you: Reli­gion and Role­play­ing, the Chris­t­ian Gamers Guild, and Tra­cy Hick­man’s essay on Ethics in Fan­ta­sy (for the record, Hick­man is a Mor­mon).
