We conclude our exploration of religion across the range of RPGs from science-fiction to science-fantasy to fantasy. Along the way, we consider the faith, spirituality, or creed of specific characters in some of our favorite canons.
*NOTE: We recorded this discussion when we were still releasing episodes biweekly. Now that Dice in Mind is a weekly podcast, it is possible that our "future" references are not quite accurate.
Along the way, we refer to some interesting source material:
Dragonlance Chronicles
Dragonlance Legends
D&D Canon
