What are your favorite RPG Podcasts?

Does anyone here know how to get in contact with the cats behind RPGPodcasts.com or d20 Radio? I operate the Grumpy RPG Reviews blog. I ran it and its RSS feed through Blip - however Blip shut down recently so I am now running the series through Youtube and need to update the RSS feed to the...

(cackles like Palpatine) Arguably you can go deeper than the usual - no dwarves, no elves, etc. Humans are possibly only a recent phenomena (many travelers, or colonists, or something). Try to take nothing for granted.

I will disagree with some of the posts here, I am comfortable with the discussion and want to thank everyone for participating in it. The next video/episode I produce will be less controversial. It is just about 5E D&D... ...which is the exact same thing as cannibalistic Satanism. 8P

Yes, Lwaxy... billd91 is correct and this is important to understand for how it influences all conversation about race and race relations in America and with Americans. And that kind of black face play, though no longer culturally acceptable, is part of the historical framework that pop culture...

This really twerks me off. I'm not angry, but I have trouble resisting a bad joke - the worse the joke, the more I want to tell it. I could not think of what else to call it. Style, to me, has a different connotation, is more specific and more transitory. Also, while this should be from...

As I stated above, that is because cultural appropriation is not often discussed in the general public. The columns by Jonathan Korman and Christopher Chinn are all the ones strictly on the subject of cultural appropriation in RPGs - so I use other discussions to make comparisons. Her's is a...

For the first time in ages I have recorded another episode. I am beginning to edit it now, and will complete editing it tomorrow - hopefully. It should go up sometime later this week.

(Trigger warnings for; racism, religious persecution, sexism, genocide, slavery and related issues) Greetings from a place of unexpected discomfort or possibly just social consternation. This column will discuss cultural appropriation in role-playing games. This column will not discuss...

I was making a joke. The nation of "Thay" from the Forgotten Realm is an evil nation and their evil is almost vaudeville in terms of being over the top. They would totally rip off being jerks from other nations and pretend they were the ones who invented that type of being a jerk. No, it will...

I can fully believe Thay culturally appropriated all the worst characteristics of the Sword Coast but only the worst characteristics, none of the charity or other virtues. Just the a****** qualities. Because that's the way Thay rolls. In any case, please let us just try to focus on the issue as...

Will someone please make counterarguments to my column, but only in terms of the column itself or how CA applies to RPGs.

This kind of topic is always intensely and inheritly political. That said, to keep anyone from justifibly closing this thread, perhaps we should just focus on cultural appropriation as it applies to role playing games.

I have been busy with real life issues and work - I am at a business confrence right now - and hope to make the vlog this weekend.

Again, I disagree with you Celebrim, but you are giving the most interesting argument I've heard in ages.

Race, in America, is both a real thing and more social in construct than genetic makeup. It would be foolish to pretend such a thing does not exist. I used the term "hunky" to replace "white" in "white man's burden" because I am white and I find the term funny. I am not arguing anything I have...

I had to look up Condorcet, as I was not familiar with the name – and I am not certain what to make of your use of his name here. In any event, while I disagree with your statements I respect your position and the passion with which you argue your case. Bruce Cordell wrote the Thunder Plains...

I thought about including "tone policing" in the column but decided not to because it would have made it too long. I realize that the column creates barriers - I more or less say strong fences make for good neighbors. I am not remotely a white nationalist and I fully realize those barriers can...

People did protest the Piss Christ in the Elephant Dung Virgin Mary. However, this being America and where the law works little came of that. Back to my point, this is about etiquette, about good manners. It is not something that would actually be covered or excluded by the law, it is not...
