This is part two of Jason's interview with Andrew Navaro and Andrew Fisher of Earthborne Games. In this episode, we get into some Good Trouble, only this time Andrew Navaro aims to help people think twice about how we produce our games. For the sake of the environment and for the sake of inspiring local employment and entrepreneurship, we would benefit greatly from local production and distribution. Andrew gets into the weeds of the current state of sustainable production, vision for the future, and much more.

The African Board Gaming Convention is a pan-African event that brings many people together from all over Africa and beyond to play games, celebrate games, and spread the word about a growing, local gaming scene. Oluwafemi Olusanya (or Femi) joins the show to share his boundless enthusiasm for sharing games and spreading the word about this fifth installment of AB Con. At the time of recording, they were working on a stretch goal to get Eric Lang to make an appearance and help out local designers. If we are truly into the work of diversity and inclusion in our games, this is it! Femi's doing the work, so I am happy to support and lift his voice for everyone listening and watching.

(Apologies for sub-optimal audio. Trans-Atlantic Zoom calls can be an adventure. The project is so important, though, that I am posting regardless. If you find the video easier to follow, please follow the link to Shelf Stories below)

A snippet from Saturday live discussion about cooperative Living Card Games (LCG) and comparing the deck construction and building tips between all the cooperative LCGs from Fantasy Flight Games.
Kickstarter alert! Dr. Eugene Marshall has launched a new project, now live on Kickstarter, called S5E. This is an superhero-centric RPG with vivid comic book-style art and rules that integrate directly with Dungeons and Dragons, Fifth Edition. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sigil/s5e-superheroic-roleplaying-for-5th-edition

Jason is causing some more Good Trouble! This time, he is joined by Dr. Eugene Marshall from Arcanist Press. He wrote the supplement "Ancestry and Culture: An Alternative to Race in 5e," which reimagines how fantasy games present the idea of "race." In essence, Dr. Marshall reimagines the idea of race, breaking it apart into biological, heritable traits (ancestry) and culturally learned traits(culture). Your Orc still has tusks, your Tiefling still has darkvision, and your Savvas is still a giant, sentient rock. This approach simply severs biology from traits that are learned, which opens up space for individuals from different ancestries to be... well, different! This is a direct critique and answer to the idea that all non-human fantasy races, everywhere, act and behave the same (i.e. all Orcs are stupid and barbaric, all Vermlings are garbage-eating savages, etc.). Dr. Marshall helps Jason analyze this core idea and also answer common counter-arguments.
