Saving Throes # 94 - Crowing From the Perch: The Death of Meaning

Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.

I was recently provided with an article to read titled "The Death of Meaning: How Absurdity is Killing Fantasy, Sci-fi, and Tabletop Games". I read through it and felt inspired to talk about it on this week's episode. I found that this article articulated a lot of how I felt about the temperature in the gaming world today. Although this article is technically in service to a game the author is looking to increase awareness to, the message is a poignant one nonetheless. Tune in to hear my analysis on this article and get my perspective on its strong messaging.
