New intro (2nd attempt 🤫)

Hi, I'm Lyssa and one half of the @slovenlytrulls.com podcast where we analyze D&D lore from a modern, intersectional feminist lens.

TLDR; early D&D was sexist af.

I sometimes do APs, my playstyle has been described as "Looney Tunes." I bring the fun! 💅✨

Wonderful, intelligent, and entertaining podcast. If you appreciate #DnD history, I highly recommend the Slovenly Trulls.

They keep it real. 😁
listen ya'll

existing can be hard

so can running a podcast like ours

we are not immune from the bbegs of self-doubt and imposter syndrome. they creep up on us fairly often

but you know what helps? MEMES

so here are some that we made to remind us how RIDICULOUS our brains can be sometimes 🤪

Would love recommendations for TTRPGs, modules, hacks etc. that explore femininity, misogyny, and gender roles through the lens of horror.

Think ‘Bluebeard’s Bride’ as a great example of the kind of thing I’m after.

Also open to recs from other media (books, films, etc.)

I’m researching 🤓

Are you a BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+ TTRPG game designer? Do you have a new game/kickstarter launching soon? Would you like to be featured on "BUT WHY?" our TTRPG talk show where we
1. interview a game designer
2. play a one-shot with their game/setting
3. have chill fun vibes?

If this is you, DM us!

It seems like only yesterday that we held the Doomspiral Launch party.

It was such a brilliant night full of amazing costumes, dramatic boss battles and Mol going full "weird lil guy".

A massive shoutout to @moonshineadventure.bsky.social, The Arcanists Tavern and everyone who came along.

Live now on Kickstarter!
Doomspiral a #TTRPG of desperate battles in a dying world. This is our love letter to soulslike games, with dramatic fights, labyrinthine exploration and many laughing shopkeeps.

Back now before the cruel spiral of entropy consumes all.

Brimstone Angels is one of the better ttrpg novels I've read. It's not perfect but in a sea of very questionable books with very questionable depictions of women and minoritites, it's a breath of fresh air

Update to this chart that I share a lot. Not breaking news: Game design teams are still OVERWHELMINGLY all men. About 7% of the top 500 games have a woman or non-binary person credited as a designer. A 🧵of related charts: (1/6)

One thing I would like to add to the conversations about diversity in AP casting: we have got to stop rewarding and frankly cheering on shows with all-white casts, all white-main casts (where POC are relegated to a few guest appearances), and overwhelmingly white casts.

✨We wanna hear your women-made indie TTRPG recommendations!✨

Let’s hear them, folks!

Extra points for links, and don’t forget to check people’s pronouns to avoid misgendering.
