Talk Gnosis interviews Terry Robinson and Puka from the Mage podcast about their recent episode exploring Gnosticism through the lens of the role-playing game Mage: The Ascension. The discussion goes into how role-playing games can serve as gateways to understanding complex philosophical and spiritual traditions, with both hosts sharing how games like Mage encourage players to explore different worldviews and ways of understanding reality.
The conversation expands beyond just Gnosticism and Mage to explore how role-playing games can be a “technology” for safely exploring spiritual and philosophical ideas and help players engage with concepts of wonder, belief, and personal transformation in ways that can carry over into their real lives.
