Have you ever heard of a game and wanted to know more about it through the eyes of someone who has played it already? That's what we do in this episode with the popular RPG (role playing game) Deadlands!
We have some of our favorite people, Team Waerloga, join us on a magical journey! As the novice, Old Man asks a serious of pointed questions about the game he barely knows and tries to learn what it is to be part of this interesting Weird West role playing game.
This round-table was fun and entertaining. Half of that being the people in the room, the other half was feeling their love and joy over this game!
Check out both their LARP, Waerloga and the game Deadlands! Of course, after you listen to the episode.

Since the inception of most role playing games, they have used elements of various cultures and historical events to build these game worlds. Many of the early versions of these games unfortunately reflect the times they were created in. As times change, we've seen many of these games (and subsequently the companies) take responsibility for what was done in the past. More recently many of them have removed or changed their content to become more respectful to the cultures they appropriated for their games. You can see this not only in Deadlands but many settings in Dunegoens & Dragons as well. It's going to take today's community to create games where we see less cultural appropriation.

Sounds like there is some unfortunate cultural appropriation going on with this game and Native Americans' cultures. 😒
