About this Event

Racism, Sexism, and homophobia. These are all tough subjects to face at the game table. Join us as we discuss the impact of discrimination at our game spaces and in our play. Learn best practices for what to do if discrimination does come up in play, and how to address it. We will also discuss what you can learn from diverse play.

  1. The impact of discrimination in gaming.
  2. How to deal with discrimination while playing a tabletop RPG.
