City of the Black Rose: Episode 1, Part 1 - "Red Hot Case, Cold Dead Hand" Sep 06, 2024

Show notes

It's time to open up some old wounds.

We're revisiting Season One of our acclaimed mini series The City Of the Black Rose. Released as a 4 part series back in 2022, Jasper, Jeremy and Liv are revisiting this AP and giving some thoughts, before we release season 2 later this October!

So for new listeners and old alike, come with us on a journey to Mavros; a city that never sleeps, and that never forgets. For it's here we follow the stories of 4 folks drawn into the city against their better judgement, to solve a series of mysteries that have them all in a chokehold.

"An Explosion of Inclusivity" - With Brennan Lee Mulligan, 2020 Aug 29, 2024

Show notes

Back in 2020, Three Black Halflings had a catch up with Dimension 20's very own Brennan Lee Mulligan, chatting about everything from prep tips to the future of D&D. And in the wake of a new Actual Play we're releasing very shortly, featuring some very special guests *cough cough hint hint*, we're re-releasing that episode for all the listeners we're gained since then, and as a fun rewind for everyone who's been with us the whole time!

"Willy Wonka Steroids" - Playing Characters with Different Representations Aug 22, 2024

Show notes

Jasper and Jeremy are back this week to have a (very) relaxed chat about playing characters in systems that have cultures and representations to what you're used to - but not just in TTRGS! From video game character creation choices to being type-cast in live acting roles, and size representation, let's navigate how to have fun while playing characters with different representations, without being problematic about it.

"Can You Fight the Pope in Melee, Though?" - With Candace The Magnificent & Navaar Jackson Jul 18, 2024

Show notes

Jeremy, Candace The Magnificent and Navaar Jackson are back this week to talk about the news of the Assassin's Creed: Shadows release. Can you guess why? Yep, a lot of people seem very upset that one of the main protagonists - Yasuke - is a black man, in a game set in feudal Japan. Would we have this same backlash if it was a white guy? Is using the 'historical accuracy' label being used more by game and media companies just to avoid being classed as 'woke'? And how does it compare to game companies embracing gender? Let's talk about it!
