Published: Dec. 19, 2018, 10 a.m.

DMs Matt and Rob sit down for a deep dive into Tolkien, race, drow, Game of Thrones, and Euro-centric campaign worlds. Listen to a discussion of how to think critically about ideas of race in fantasy RPGs. We hope you will leave with some ideas about to tell anti-racist stories in our games.\xa0\xa0

You can do your DM of None homework by reading\xa0Paul Sturtevant's article on the Public Medievalist, "Race: the Original Sin of the Fantasy Genre."
