Davey is flying solo again, and this week the show goes somewhere it has only ever skirted the edges of. Joel Medina is a writer for GAYMING Magazine and the Los Angeles Blade, and a dedicated tabletop RPG player. In this episode:
  • What actually happens at a TTRPG session.
  • The imagination problem, and why "I'm not creative enough" is the wrong reason to stay away
  • The biggest misconception about TTRPG spaces.
  • What Stranger Things got right and wrong about Dungeons and Dragons
  • Why campaigns run so long.
  • It is not all high fantasy. Call of Cthulhu, Monster of the Week, Girl by Moonlight, and systems built for horror, sci-fi, romance and drama
  • Why the community always needs more Dungeon Masters.
  • The inherent queerness of TTRPGs.
  • How to actually get started, with podcast recommendations, Discord servers and groups worth looking up in LA, Melbourne and across Australia
 Find Joel's work at GAYMING Magazine and the Los Angeles Blade.
