Telling stories is a critical part of our history. In ancient times those stories took on many shapes, often in the shape of myths and legends. These ancient tales can be a wonderful source of inspiration for our pen and paper adventures! Join Daniel Kwan, who you may know from his podcast Asians Represent! and I as we talk about myths and tales of old in our games. We go over:
- Encorporating myths into your game,
- Tools you need to ensure you are picking appropriate tales and myths to adapt for your table, and
- Advice from Daniel to help avoid stereotypes when running Chinese inspired content (or any content!)
