Sex In Table Top RPGs
06/04/2021 Duration: 01h32minWe do a sex talk. World building? Mechanics? Lines and Veils? Yep, we talk about it. Rob tries not to use D&D as an example of what not to do, but fails, because it fundamentally falls short of what players want out of this. (Shocking, we know) If you have any questions, comments, or free-floating hostility, find us: On discord: discord.gg/Hz7zFwq On Twitter: twitter.com/FlailForward Facebook & Instagram @flailforward Your talkers were: Catreece - tinyurl.com/SAORSA Mark - twitter.com/praxisarcanum Rob - ashesofthemagi.com twitter.com/ashesofthemagi Kavoir - Has surprisingly little to say on the topic for being an emotional vampire.
