Description

In today's session I discuss whether players should play characters who don't represent them as a person. I share an experience of my own that I recently had when playing a character with a different sexual identity than myself, and discuss how psychology can help us answer this question through the subject of implicit bias.On Tricks of the Trade I offer a few ideas for character options that you could use to help modify your own implicit biases.Keywords: dnd, D&D, dnd podcast, dungeons and dragons, podcast, ttrpg, rpg, roleplaying, roleplaying game, DM, dungeon master, game master, dnd ideas, Podcast Art by Kyle BaerlocherIntro music by 33nano from  Outro music by GabrielDouglas from PixabaySupport the show
