Today’s Stoic Philosophy Podcast episode features special guest Dave Guerrieri. We talk about parallels between Dungeons & Dragons and Stoic Philosophy.
The Stoic Philosophy Podcast explores the tradition of Stoicism with goals to inform, empower, and help others benefit from practical wisdom of Ancient Greek, Roman, and modern thinkers including Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, and Seneca.
For the Stoics, a main focus is pursuing virtue to attain a well-examined life through practical applications of Philosophy – acting with good character, using reason to form accurate careful judgments about the world, and achieving contentment.
Stoic writers focus on many perennial human concerns and urge people to take action applying what they learn to everyday life. Self-improvement is central to Stoic thought – strengthening and improving one’s mindset.
Dave Guerrieri is a retired technology education teacher, golfer, and gamer married to wife Linda, with a step-daughter, step-son-in-law, and a grandson. He spends way too much time doing things other than gaming. Dave has been playing D&D and Greyhawk since the summer of 1980 and became involved with the Role Playing Game Association’s Living Greyhawk game in 1999-2000 as prime minister of the Regulators, one of the premiere gaming groups of LG. He was a Keoland triad member from 2005 until the end of the campaign, and a Living Forgotten Realms admin for a time as well.
