Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene Episode 118: Roleplaying Dragons, Gods and AIs

     In this episode Saul and Jolene tackle the idea of playing a Dragon, God or AI.  Something that can be so alien to us that it really is incomprehensible to understand, as humans, their motivations.  So we humans give these beings human like traits.  In roleplaying games, playing some so alien is daunting.  Saul and Jolene discuss how they RP their NPC Dragons, Gods, AI and even Aliens, not Xenomorphs cause they just want to eat you.

      Saul discusses how he has played dragons in D&D and Shadowrun.   Saul and Jolene talk about sources that they use as inspiration for roleplaying this strange and wonderful beings, those sources being books, tv shows and movies.  One show both mention and like is Star Trek series.  One episode in particular for Saul is Devil in the Dark of the Original Star Trek.
