Everyday Systems

It's a little strange, even for me, but hopefully useful (or at least entertaining) to someone:

This was delightful! And so spot-on with discussion on our forum threads: we often complain of our "inner rebel" and our "inner perfectionist" - they sure sound a lot like Demogorgon and Asmodeus! Also your comment about how they feed off each other - we often notice that when our inner perfectionist is "too" punishing of our inner rebel - well, things go off the rails for sure and inner rebel/demogorgon takes control with extra strength! But all the while, inner perfectionist/Asmodeus is gaining power for the eventual gleeful punishment.

Loved it!

I enjoyed this! Interesting to muse on what might neutralise these two warring demons. Perhaps compassion and detachment? For me, Demogorgon is part of an innocent survival instinct which I can’t eliminate but can detach from; and Asmodeus is just built-up frustration at the limits of that detachment. But with this frustration, there can be self-compassion. Maybe the demons can be re-imagined as angels! One kept your ancestors alive...the other is your fully-evolved human potential!

Thanks for a great podcast, Reinhard.

This was a a great analogy and one I can relate to, keep the podcasts coming!

Thank you all!

Have another one in the works...

That was wonderful! Thank you - it was great to hear/read your thoughts. I've recently started (yes, I know!) trying to learn D&D (solo) adapting it to my own needs - I've not made much headway yet.

But, yes, this was really entertaining and thought-provoking - I could relate to those idea very well.
