Mythic Mind Games is a conversation about video games as secondary worlds. We look at story, design, and the moral imagination of play: what games train us to love, fear, hope for, and become. This is not a review show and not a strategy guide. Episodes sit with particular games and ask what they are doing to the soul. Grief, home, identity, freedom, and wonder show up here as often as bosses and endings. Hosted by Andrew Snyder, Ph.D., alongside friends from the Fellowship.

The Greymarch reveals the secret. Sheogorath is Jyggalag, Daedric Lord of Order, locked in an endless cycle of chaos and gray dominion. In this Elder Scrolls & Philosophy story overview, Dr. Andrew Snyder traces the path from Niben Bay through Haskill and New Sheoth to Mantling the Mad God, rebuilding the staff, and breaking the Greymarch so a new Sheogorath can reign.
