    "Buffy Meets Beyoncé" - Femme & Female Experiences in Horror TTRPGS
    May 2 2025

    Trigger Warning: non-explicit discussion of sexual assault.

    This week, Jeremy & Liv are joined by by fellow City of the Black Rose: Herald of Shadows player Candace the Magnificent to talk specifically about playing femme presenting and female characters in horror Actual Plays and TTRPGS. From how the female/femme experience affects horror role play experiences, to their experiences of how horror TTRPGS and Actual Play can be liberating, and how real-world dynamics can affect the playstyles happening at YOUR table!

    Also, that vignette with one Connie Chang Jeremy mentioned will be dropping on the Patreon SOON!

    And speaking of horror...

    Our very first official campaign setting module, City of the Black Rose: A Dark Metropolis Campaign Setting, set in non-other than Mavros, will be launching in May/June 2025!

    Jeremy and Candace are joined in the hobbit hole this week by content creators Ginny Di and Pointy Hat, to talk about Dragon Week 25!

    WE ARE BACK BABY!
