E48 Jaime Madigon: The Psychology Of Dungeons And Dragons

Aidan's Infinite Play

Jamie's mission is to popularize the application of psychology to creating and understanding games, especially video games. Whether you want to know about the psychology behind why good game design works, why people act and think as they do when they play games, or how those who market and sell games take advantage of psychological quirks, he appeals to all groups. He’s written a few books including Getting Gamers and more recently the psychology of dungeons and dragons.
In this podcast you will learn:

• How D&D motivates us to play
• What skills D&D builds in its players
