À propos de ce contenu audio

Welcome to the Roll for Joycast, where every episode is a quest for holy wholeness! Join Rory, Alex, and Anthony - three nerdy pastors and dungeon masters - as they dive into the world of tabletop roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons. Together, they wander through myth, story, spirituality, and sacred absurdity, discovering how play can reconnect us to joy, courage, community, and hope.

Plus, in our Game Design Theopoetics segment, we reimagine game elements to help us rediscover the sacred possibilities within ourselves and the worlds we create together.

Get ready to roll the dice for a faithful journey into eucatastrophic adventure where we believe the dungeons can be escaped, the dragons can be overcome, and we can do it best when we do it together.
