The RPG Room: Culture and Social advocacy in RPGs - a podcast by Interviews and RPG Publishing advice by Paco García Jaén

A few days ago Jim and I talked for a while about culture in games. How they
are not well used or even created in most games and we touched on some of the
social aspects of cultures and how to translate them into gaming. Also how to
convert real cultures into gaming cultures.

After that, it was pointed out by someone who heard our episode and, in
particular, the bit about understanding someone else’s culture and getting to know
it, even if from a distance, that it was very obvious that it was two white guys
talking about topic.

Regardless of the fact that the assertion is wrong (I am not white. I just
have white skin privilege), that sparked a conversation between Jim and myself:
How is social advocacy affecting RPGs.

In this episode we discuss that, as well as a bit of cultural appropriation
(very little) and a few other interesting things.

A fair bit of swearing in this episode!
