This week! Liv, Candace and Jeremy (aka the BG3 book hoarder) are exploring the Steam and Itch.io controversy of delisting games from their platforms revolving around the censorship of adult content, how this specifically impacts marginalised communities in ways these companies have clearly not considered, and how the Payment Giants are controlling the narrative

Disclaimer: a longer unedited version of this podcast is available on the Patreon - A Snyder Cut, if you will.

This week! Jeremy and Candace bring back a segment we've not done in a while - The Shirefolk Soapbox! Jeremy takes the soapbox to air his opinion that the film industry has a never-ending problem of serialised storytelling, and how it's having a knock on effect within the TTRPG Actual Play community. And Candace takes to the soapbox to talk about the grip that Blue Prince has on her!

Also, head over to the Patreon where we will endeavour to record 'Candace's Most Offensive Takes On Anime'. Our anime loving producer is INTRUIGED AND SCARED.

Join Jeremy and Candace as we take a look at where the line needs to be drawn when playing TTRPGS when allowing certain actions in-game. Listen to a few personal stories from both hosts, and how they resolved such instances, how consent and safety tools can combat over-reaching players to keep the game grounded, the value of player communication, enthusiastic consent, and one hell of a Batman impression to bring that point home!

From the race, gender, disability of the characters being portrayed against the actors portraying them, whether we should be casting actors who can accurately portray the role of disabled people with lived experiences, and the problem with ALIEN: Romulus.

🎉Happy 5 Year Anniversary Halflings🎉

To celebrate, we got you a gift! Joining Jeremy, Jasper, and Liv is our brand new full-time halfling ⁠Candace The Magnificent⁠ with a special end of episode voice note from halfling alumni ⁠Unati Lewis-Nyawo!!

Our very first Kickstarter for the ⁠⁠City of the Black Rose Campaign setting⁠⁠ is LIVE NOW, in collaboration with ⁠⁠Roll and Play Press! ⁠⁠Completely system agnostic, there are Daggerheart specific additions to help you run a game in Mavros with the Daggerheart system - which, as you can hear from ⁠our latest one-shot,⁠ works particularly well for narrative storytelling games!
