Do you use cultural symbols in your games? Imitate accents to bring your game to life? In today's episode I chat a little about cultural appropriation within the GM space - when it is inspiration and when does it become appropriation? I also talk about one of the more commonly asked questions - becoming a professional GM. How do you make the change to being a paid GM? What should you charge? All questions we discuss in this episode. 

Topics covered: 

• Inspiration vs. appropriation. 
• Doing your research and understanding the meanings behind cultural symbols.  
• Is performing accents appropriate? 
• Drawing the line between inspiration and mockery. 
• Professional GMing and the complexities that come with it. 
• What should you charge as a professional GM? 
• Managing conflicting personalities at the table as a professional/paid GM. 
• The ramification of running paid games. 
• How do you build an audience? 
• The trouble with streaming TTRPG systems other than D&D.
