The podcast that discusses all things vampiric continues the interesting irregular series, 'Cainite Conversations', where The Lore By Night Podcast Guy brings in a member of the TTRPG community and talk about all things TTRPG and everything else in between.

In this episode, The Lore By Night Podcast Guy invites Sara Thompson of Clan Ventrue into his domain. Sara is a freelance writer for table-top role-playing games, focusing on positive disability and chronic illness representation and content in games. She has worked for established game companies such as RTalsorianGames on The Witcher, Cyberpunk RED and Paizo on Starfinder. Disabled herself, Sara also works as a disability advocate in the TTRPG community and also as a sensitivity reader.

Together, they discuss primarily the representation and portrayal of disability in TTRPGs and media, unpacking how we have gone about creating our own supplements, debunking ableist stereotypes as we go and how to deal with internet trolls. Sara talks about working with RTalsorianGames and how they go the extra mile to include all demographics and minorities, as well as those who scarcely do the bare minimum. The interview also includes some interesting, yet challenging questions from members of the Lore By Night Discord server for Sara.
