Best podcast of 2024: Dice ExploderThis podcast is all about taking different rules and mechanics from tabletop role-playing games and breaking them down to see how and why they work (or don’t). This might be just because I happen to enjoy TTRPGs, but I think there’s also something broader to learn about how the rules of society shape our social interactions and self-images. Also, each episode of this podcast is just plain fun to listen to. I especially enjoyed this year’s mini-series on Dungeons and Dragons, which looks more at the set of customs and rituals around the game than the rules itself. One excellent example is the episode about Rule Zero with Ema Acosta, the rule that “the game master is always right”.
