Transcribe →Twin Portals - S3E07 - Femmes, Thems, and Searching for Gems
Nov 2601:34:42Tap to summarizeBeth talks gender in gaming with Bailey and Laura, two skilled & savvy local DMs. We touch on gender, orientation, how to make tables safe & welcoming, and our many sparkling adventures over a couple decades of navigating spaces that weren't always constructed with us in mind. We laughed, we cried, we punned, then we got vulnerable and shed some light on facets of TTRPG that don't often get talked about. Everyone's pretty thrilled with the results - we hope you find it entertaining and beneficial to your tables.
