“Heres looking at Kenku Kid” - The Jennifer Kretchmer Interview Part 2

This week! Jeremy Cobb and Candace the Magnificent are joined by Jennifer Kretchmer, a multi-talented writer, producer, actor, consultant, and tabletop creative whose work spans storytelling, performance, and game design. In part two of the conversation, the Halflings continue their in-depth discussion with Jennifer, moving further into how disability is represented, understood, and designed for in tabletop roleplaying games and fantasy worlds. They explore what it means to design a fantasy setting with accessibility in mind, and how adaptability often becomes a powerful response when people are confronted with disability, both in real life and at the table. The conversation also delves into disability mechanics in TTRPGs, how mechanics can support more thoughtful and inclusive play, and the ways disability has been understood and recorded throughout history. Along the way, Jennifer helps unpack common misconceptions around various disabilities. The episode concludes with a Tale From the Table from Jennifer, which includes spoilers for Phandelver.
