DEGES & DRAGONS

Therapy & RPG Gaming

In early 2018, Nate was approached by his childhood friend, Conrad, about collaborating on a YouTube project to promote RPG gaming and it's positive impact on mental health.

With Conrad's expertise and background in Psychology and Nate's background in technology, the two brothers from other mothers got to work.

Years prior, when Nate & Conrad were younglings, Conrad's father ironically referred to the duo and their group of friends as "Degenerates" one day while the gang stocked up on Mountain Dew, ready for a long weekend of gaming. The term stuck around and over the years was naturally shortened to "Dege".

Launched April 2020, Deges & Dragons was born.

DEGECAST

The Supplemental Podcast For Deges & Dragons

What do pen and paper role-playing games and therapy have in common? A lot more than you might think.

Welcome to the Degecast! The supplemental podcast for our YouTube show, Deges & Dragons!

We don't just spew nonsense about gaming and therapy, Psychology & Therapy Expert and Resident Game Master, Conrad Audette brings actual factual science to the table.

You'll also hear the voice of one, Tony "Don't even try to pronounce my last name" Sermuksnis. A near lifelong RPG gamer, and a veteran Game Master in his own right, Tony lends his gaming knowledge, wit, and loving rivalry with Nate to the show!

Your host, Nate Lindberg, is the technology brains, producer & the chief editor of both Deges & Dragons as well as the Degecast. He may not be a life-long tabletop RPG nerd, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have something to say!

Join the conversation! Leave a voicemail for us at (617) 506-9686 or email us at degetime@gmail.com. We'll respond live on the next episode!
