Episode 1 in a new series where we interview luminaries within the TTRPG community. Today we interview Dr. Emily Friedman, Historian, TTRPG researcher & all-round excellent human being. You can find out more about Dr. Friedman here: https://www.ecfriedman.com/

Em and Emily are joined by London Carlisle and KP to play the tabletop role-playing game (ttrpg) For the Ball. This abridged video of the actual play will premiere as part of #VirtualJaneCon 2022 (https://virtualjanecon.com/virtualjanecon-2022/) and will be followed by a live Q & A. https://youtu.be/a4npxUxcVf4 For more inclusive Austen programming, see @VirtualJaneCon .

A rerecorded version of my talk. Designed for undergrad researchers and curious folks, I tell the stories of how I got to #ttrpg from my training as an 18th centuryist, & my work as a storyteller about storytellers.

Overview of how race, gender, and sexuality have been addressed (and erased) in Austen-inspired games. We will be chatting live with you during the premier 2 May 2021 as part of #VirtualJaneCon @virtualjanecon Time: 2 am AEST (May 3)/1 a.m. (May 3) KST/9:30 pm IST/5 p.m. BST/12 PM EDT/11 am CDT/9 AM PDT For videos on getting started playing some of these games (no commentary or guest stars for these playthroughs), see https://www.twitch.tv/collections/R5gM8Wc9eRZKcg

This show's got everything: 18th Century Novels, Critical Role Discourse, and a Coffee Shop AU! Sam (she/her) is joined by Dr. Emily Friedman (she/her) and they barely scratch the surface talking about archives in role playing games and the intricacies of fan created works and transformative media. Spoilers for Critical Role Campaigns 1-3 and The Legend of Vox Machina...and 18th Century Novels, I guess?
