À propos de cet audio
Text us, Psyclithids
Have you ever made a choice for your D&D character that felt like a betrayal? You know, when your Lawful Good Paladin lies, or your nature-loving Ranger fells a sacred tree? That feeling of internal conflict is a real-world psychological phenomenon called cognitive dissonance.
In this episode, we're diving deep into the psychology behind that gut-punch. We'll explore why our brains seek consistency, how to recognize dissonance in your own roleplaying, and—most importantly—how to use it as a powerful tool for character development.
This isn't about making your game less fun; it's about making it more meaningful. Whether you're a player looking to create a more complex hero or a DM crafting dilemmas that will challenge your players, this episode is a must-listen.
Join us as we explore how to turn those moments of doubt into unforgettable character arcs.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- What cognitive dissonance is and why it's so uncomfortable.
- How to spot it in your own D&D games.
- "Tricks of the Trade" for both players and DMs to embrace this psychological concept for richer storytelling.
