    Ivy Insights

    The Asians Represent! podcast is an incredibly informative and thought-provoking show that delves into a variety of topics within the realm of tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs). Hosted by Daniel Kawnik and Agatha Cheng, this podcast does an excellent job at presenting information and discussing controversial topics in a nuanced and solution-oriented manner. One of the best aspects of this podcast is how it shines a light on other creators and scholars, providing listeners with different perspectives and insights.

    What sets Asians Represent! apart from other TTRPG podcasts is its focus on marginalized groups creating content that reflects their experiences. The hosts take the time to critique both past and present bad representations while also highlighting creators who are doing good representation. This approach not only educates listeners about problematic content but also serves as a guide for those looking to write their own gaming content, encouraging them to avoid harmful stereotypes and tropes.

    Another standout aspect of the show is the academic experience that Daniel brings to the table. His expertise helps frame discussions in a meaningful way, adding depth and context to each topic. Additionally, the actual play episodes and world building segments are fantastic examples of how to engage in safe gameplay with good communication. The enthusiasm and chemistry among all the players/actors make these episodes a joy to listen to.

    In terms of production value, Asians Represent! maintains a high standard overall. While there may be some episodes that suffer in audio quality due to being taken from live streams or recorded remotely, this issue is minor compared to the wealth of knowledge and entertainment provided by the show.

    In conclusion, Asians Represent! is a fantastic podcast that offers incredible perspective on various aspects of TTRPGs. It provides valuable insights into personal biases, interactions within the gaming community, and how to create inclusive content. The dedication shown by the hosts in critiquing problematic elements while promoting diverse voices makes this podcast an essential listen for anyone interested in the world of tabletop role-playing games.

Rising Action is a roleplaying game for two players where you play a pair of rivals having an ever-escalating battle where their past and passions collide. Inspired by action anime and JRPG cutscenes, it is designed to produce dramatic encounters that can be played in 1-2 hours from character creation to the end of the fight.
