Diversity and Representation in TTRPGs: The Importance of Inclusive Storytelling

In recent times, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of inclusive storytelling, where games embrace diverse characters, cultures, and identities. The same is true for content in the TTRPG podcast universe. Thankfully, things are changing. I should mention up top that this is coming from a cis, hetero, white dude perspective. What follows below is purely from my observations and not from a traditionally marginalized view. I’m grateful for the expanded representation and perspectives. As a result, I’m actively learning and the experience is FAR more enjoyable.

What can TTRPGs teach us about society and empathy?

Tabletop Roleplaying Games (TTRPGs) have been a popular pastime for decades. From Dungeons and Dragons to Pathfinder and beyond, these games offer players a chance to step into the shoes of fantastical characters, embark on epic quests, and explore richly imagined worlds. But TTRPGs also offer something else: a unique opportunity to learn about diversity, inclusion, and cooperation in a fun, healthy, and engaging way.
