Episode 48: Malcolm Sheppard Redux

This week we chat again with friend of the podcast Malcolm Sheppard, developer at large with Green Ronin, who joins us to talk about his work on the new Cthulhu Awakens.  We also talk at length regarding the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion at the table and the importance of actively working against racism in RPGs.

Please check out Cthulhu Awakens:

Welcome to Dice in Mind, a weekly podcast in which we explore the meaning of life through the lens of RPGs!  In each episode, we will consider everyday stuff like science, religion, philosophy, and economics…through the lens of a specific roleplaying game and its dice mechanic.
