Shownotes

Continuing our series examining religions in our favorite fandoms, Christian Ashley and TJ Blackwell are joined by Father Jonathan Resmini to discuss the gods and religions in the D&D world! We discuss a few of the more well-known pantheons, the existence of demons in the game, and what good lessons we can gather from these fictional religions.

.

How many D&D gods are there? Who is the god of D&D? Who is the most powerful god in D&D? Is there Christianity in D&D? Can I be god in D&D? Is D&D religious? Who are the gods of Greyhawk 5e? Who are the gods of the sea in Greyhawk? What is the pantheon of Faerûn? What is the most popular religion in Faerûn? Is Forgotten Realms in Faerûn? We discuss all this and more in this one! Join in the conversation with us on Discord now!

Systematic Geekology

Our show focuses around our favorite fandoms that we discuss from a Christian perspective. We do not try to put Jesus into all our favorite stories, but rather we try to ask the questions the IPs are asking, then addressing those questions from our perspective. We are not all ordained, but we are the Priests to the Geeks, in the sense that we try to serve as mediators between the cultures around our favorite fandoms and our faith communities.
