We’ll see you next time, in the Dojo”

This week we are talking about making your table more accessible for players with disabilities.  As a disclaimer, none of us are disabled, so we have no real knowledge of what it is like.  What we do know is, D&D is a game for EVERYONE, and we as a community should see that EVERYONE is able to enjoy the game.

This is the talking point for the episode.

• START WITH A SESSION 0 AND DISCUSS THE GAME, CHARACTER CONCEPTS, AND WHAT IS AND IS NOT COMFORTABLE FOR THE PLAYERS. IF VOICING SUCH THINGS IN FRONT OF OTHERS IS UNCOMFORTABLE FOR SOMEONE, HAVE A ONE-ON-ONE MEETING WITH THE PLAYER TO DISCUSS THEIR NEEDS.

• HOW DO YOU REPRESENT DISABILITY IN YOUR GAME, AND HOW DO YOU DO IT TASTEFULLY?

• HOW DO YOU MANAGE DISABLED CHARACTERS AT THE GAMING TABLE?

• HOW DO YOU MANAGE DISABLED PLAYERS AT THE GAMING TABLE?

We’ll see you next time, in the Dojo”

The Underdark has captured the minds of gamers since the early days of the hobby, it’s almost a rite of passage for DMs and players alike.  Every gamer’s bucket list has slaying a dragon, taking a ride on a Spelljammer, and journeying to the Underdark.  But how do you do the setting justice?  How do you make it memorable?

These are the talking points:

• It’s always dark

• There’s nothing green in the Underdark

• It’s a confined area, all the time

• It’s always dangerous, but add new dangers with the old

• The environment is alien to surface dwelling characters

(No sun, no weather, the language is different, the gods worshiped are different)

“We talked about some of the elements of Dark Fantasy, now let’s talk about one of our favorite ways to play Dark Fantasy adventures.  We’re going beyond what many may think of as an Anti-Hero.  We love playing the monsters!”

These are the talking points:

• YOUR PCS ARE THE MONSTERS, VAMPIRES, WEREWOLVES, AND ZOMBIES EVEN.  BUT, THEY HAVEN’T LOST ALL OF THEIR HUMANITY.

• THEY ARE BATTLING INNER DEMONS BOTH LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY.

• THE PCS ARE CHILDREN OF TWO WORLDS, THE MORTAL WORLD AND THE SUPERNATURAL.

• THE ENDING SHOULD BE BOTH HAPPY AND SAD.  A BITTERSWEET SEND-OFF FOR THE PCS.

We’ll see you next time, in the Dojo.

FIND YOUR FANTASY: DARK FANTASY.:

“Dark fantasy is cool.  It’s fun to visit a Dark Fantasy setting, especially around Halloween.  Our gaming group tries to do something like this every year in October.  Whether it’s your Homebrew setting, a one-shot for Halloween, or a visit to Strahd’s Barovia, Dark Fantasy can be a frightening, yet enjoyable adventure.”

These are the talking points :

• DARK FANTASY IS A FANTASY SETTING WITH ELEMENTS OF HORROR.

• YOUR HEROES ARE LIKELY GOING TO BE ANTI-HEROES.

• BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE.

• THE SETTING IS OFTEN A DARK, BLEAK WORLD, A DYSTOPIA.
