The RPG Room: Why play, hey? - a podcast by Interviews and RPG Publishing advice by Paco García Jaén

Why play RPGs? Why spend hours reading books and preparing for games? Why
belong to a community that is both so hostile and welcoming at the same
time?

Believe it or not it is a question I ask myself very often.

Why bother with a hobby in which a dissenting voice is shut down instead of
welcome with healthy debate? Why am I in a hobby that still has strides to walk
in terms of inclusivity and diversity? A hobby in which some attempts at said
inclusivity and diversity are met with brutal opposition by people who refuse to
widen their perspectives?

And, you know… sometimes I wish to quit.

But I don’t.

And i am sure I am not the only human being in this position. We keep
going.

Jim and I explore the reasons why we are still here. And why we are likely to
continue for a long, long time.
