S1E9 - Rees Bennett - A Drag Nun's Take On Playing a Role


Listen Later

Welcome to Game Mechanics, a show about Tabletop Roleplaying Games from lots of different perspectives. I’m Logan Jenkins.

Today, I’m talking to Rees Bennett, also known as Sister Evelyn Tensions of the Grenville Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. The Sisters are an order of drag nuns whose entire mission is to increase joy and decrease shame in the world. Rees puts on makeup, jewelry, and the Greenville sisters’ Habit, and transforms into Evelyn multiple times a week. I know Rees IRL, and I know he’s a little hesitant about RPGs in general, and I wanted to know more about that, and about the parallels between playing a character in a game, and playing Evelyn. This is a really different perspective on the hobby than I’ve featured before, and I’m so excited for you to hear it!

A quick note on audio quality: Rees’ mic was picking up some rustling noises (I think from his beard.) I tried to limit that as much as possible, but you will definitely hear some of it. The audio is still totally listenable, just wanted to let you know what that sound was! Alright, let’s get to it!
