Why You Can and Should Play Characters Who Don’t Represent You IRL Sep 25, 2022

Show notes

Text us, Psyclithids

In today's session I discuss whether players should play characters who don't represent them as a person. I share an experience of my own that I recently had when playing a character with a different sexual identity than myself, and discuss how psychology can help us answer this question through the subject of implicit bias.
On Tricks of the Trade I offer a few ideas for character options that you could use to help modify your own implicit biases.

The Problem with the Drow Sep 18, 2022

Show notes

Text us, Psyclithids

In this session I discuss how views that I have expressed in the past have been wrong and insensitive. I look at what the 3 primary problems with the Drow have been, and how we can still maintain the current literature that we have while still addressing the problems and understanding that these changes mean that we can be more inclusive and sensitive.

Show notes

Text us, Psyclithids

On today's bonus episode I sit down with Dan Ware, a mental heath therapist, who discusses his experiences in playing a character with dissociative personality disorder. He offers commentary on where he draws inspiration from to play a complicated character, and how many of the personalities are reflections of himself. He also offers some pointers for how to organize a character concept like this if you ever feel ambitious enough to give it a shot.

Hey there psyclithids! This is a rather long episode where we explore our feelings on different alignments and why we each have our own opinions on what types of alignments work best in a game. Later on we discuss the the elimination and revision of alignments as has recently happened in some of the major TTRPGs. In tricks of the trade we each give an idea for how to effectively compromise around the table when alignment issues do get in the way.
