S2E11: A Firm Starting Place: Stock Characters and Archetypes

This week, Todd, Nick, and Percy discuss the role and potential pitfalls of using stock characters and archetypes in theatre and tabletop role-playing games, as well as the way playbooks or character classes tie into using archetypes and tropes. 

Dungeons + Drama Nerds is produced by Todd Brian Backus, Percival Hornak, and Nick Orvis, and is mixed and edited by Anthony Sertel Dean.
