Dragons Are Fine, Time Travel Isn’t

In this episode, I think through the idea of what’s possible—and why some strange things in stories feel believable while others don’t.

Using examples from Star Trek and Carmen Sandiego, I explore the difference between unrealistic things and things that don’t really make sense at all, touching on the philosophical idea of metaphysical possibility.

From there, I connect it to tabletop RPGs and how philosophy informs our games and players' choices, whether we realize it or not.

This isn’t a formal philosophy lesson—just me working through some ideas and relating them to games.
