The Monster Manual describes the werewolf as “a savage predator. In its humanoid form, a werewolf has heightened senses, a fiery temper, and a tendency to eat rare meat. Its wolf form is a fearsome predator, but its hybrid form is more terrifying by far — a furred and well-muscled humanoid body topped by a ravening wolf's head. A werewolf can wield weapons in hybrid form, though it prefers to tear foes apart with its powerful claws and bite.”Get our DM's notes and print-ready maps for the Werewolf encounterIn this episode, we are joined by writer and gamemaster Diana.

And please go give a listen to our friends at Asians Represent at http://oneshotpodcast.com/interview-discussion/asians-represent/

A new episode of Femsplained is here in time for Halloween! Avalon and Diana talk about their favorite things about Halloweens past and present and try to unlock some of the odd nostalgic mysteries of the holiday.
This episode of Femsplained features our first EVER guest Femsplainer!!!! And we sure did start with someone effortless to talk to. Bree, creator of the Here To Stay merch line that directly supports people of color in their nerdy creative endeavors, as well as LARPer, costumer, gamer, and artist, joins us to explain the world of Live Action Role Play. They also share some fun stories, tips on trying the hobby out, and tells us all about her favorite character, Solstice.
In this episode of Femsplained, Avalon interviews Diana about the process of publishing Neverland: The Impossible Island, including the perils of trying to navigate the RPG scene as a first time publisher. We talk about consulting, kickstarters, art, and playtesting, but don't worry, we also talk a lot about sexy Captain Hook, and play a pretty solid game of "Diana finding loopholes in FMK". Follow the Neverland RPG artists at @toughtinkart, @anumationart, and @Glimmeron. And get a copy of Neverland on DriveThruRPG!
This week's episode of Femsplained is an Avalon-splain, where she takes me down the rabbit hole about an old favorite fantasy series - Wheel of Time. This is a true deep dive that will likely get us a swarm of angry fans but as always, we had a great time. If, like Diana, you never heard of this series, don't worry! We also briefly mention Animorphs, talk about the incredible new podcast Diana is hooked on, "Fast Times at DnD High", and yell about people not being gay enough.
This is one of the two new episodes we recorded prior to the COVID - 19 pandemic. We mention convention-going and otherwise seem carefree, and that's why. Please keep wearing your masks, stay quarantined, and stay safe. Some audio issues aside, this episode is full of the usual jolly things, like playing FMK with horrifying pokemon, Diana's over-pronunciation of the word "sword", and Francis pretending this is not his favorite game ever.
Time for a new episode of Autographs! This week Matt chats with writer, podcaster, professional DM, and TTRPG lover, Diana Gaeta!

Femsplained is back, with a lot to discuss, a lot of new updates, and a few backlogged episodes from the days before COVID - 19. This episode however, is freshly recorded and about our reflections of the phenomenon that was the latest Animal Crossing release. Check out our website and let us know what you think!
This week I sit down with pop culture expert Diana Gaeta, the host of ‘Femsplained’ podcast. We have a saucy exchange about the state of popular music in 2019. In the end, we both die on our respective hills with no shots fired.
Avalon is DONE with school and Diana is done Convention planning, so Femsplained is back to a more regular schedule! The return is one of Diana's favorite childhood topics - the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise from the 1990's! There's talk of the old, talk of the new, and talk of the not-to-be-mentioned movie, as well as some colorful biological discussion, the merits of socialism, and a game of Spoon/Fork/Knife inspired by Ginny Di!
Femsplained has been a podcast for one whole calendar year!!! We are celebrating our anniversary with a little metapodcasting, a podcast about podcasts if you will. This is truly our silliest episode, and though there is a topic...really this episode is just us Jizzing our Jeans about everything we love, including this podcast. Included inside: Critical Role, Sailor Moon, Outlaw Star, The death of the Homework Episodes, Encounter Roleplay, #TwitchGoals, the DAMSELS OF DORKINGTON, a special interlude from Francis' Trivia Night... And at the end of this marathoncast, the whole family unites including Francis for a special tipsy goof-off which features: 2000's emo rock band drama, hating Long Island, Loving Splish Splash, and as always, a good game of Fuck, Marry, Kill.
In the 30th episode of Femsplained, Avalon goes off about the first two Harry Potter books and the obsession she holds for the series. But if you were worried for even a second that this podcast stayed on track, calm down. We also talk about world famous Furry, C.S. Lewis, bad haircuts, Avalon's guilt over Hufflepuuff-gate, and whether or not 25% of the world's population of children are truly evil.
The latest episode is a mutual fandom nerd-out that's full of as many tangents as there are new generations of Pokemon! And while the main focus of the episode is of course about the series, game, and card collectible we all know and love, you will also be blessed by the following:A reluctant argument over the pronunciation of GIF Diana's loathing for Magic the Gathering Sonic the Hedgehog Avalon learning about the dark tale of 2-Gether, and other nostalgic boy band talk And of course, would it be an episode of Femsplained if there was no dark conversation about who is or isn't bonable? Not even the Pokemon universe is safe.
In this mutual Femsplained extravaganza, Avalon and Diana talk about their experiences with Cosplay, Costuming, conventions, and crafting. With special guest topics: LARPing, pirates, Avalon's allergy to hops, and Diana's allergy to shutting up.
We started our new schedule! Amanda and Rissy kicked it old school with their gaming group, which launched a conversation about what junk food we love/hate and we just. kept. coming. back. to. it. Blythe has inexplicably started playing Neopets again and she's sorry but also not sorry but also mad at the Femsplained girls for causing this. We also discuss our opinions on Slut-o-ween (for), spraining fingers (against), pee stories (for/against), pumpkin spice (for (fuck off)), and drugs (we dont know, ask Rissy). The Dork Pride Chat is ALSO about shitty fast food, but we imagine what fast food would be like in some of our favorite universes.
This episode is a mutual nerd out over Jim Hensen's The Labyrinth. This has been a lifelong love for Diana and Avalon and like all of those mutual topics, it leads to a lot of tangenting. So get ready for puppets, David Bowie headcanons, sports metaphors, the morality of American Football, fae lore, and a surpringingly personal interlude sometime in the middle of the episode.
In this episode of Femsplained, Avalon and Diana mutually reminisce about the weird fads of online fantasy pet ownership in the early 2000's. There's talk of Neopets, Gaia Online, Second Life, and most importantly - how to download Java on a Mac.
This week, Diana femsplains the Critical Role twitch show and podcast to Avalon. Along the way they team up with other topics that become increasingly more tangental, like tabletop rpg Changeling the Lost, the show Supernatural, Geek & Sundry, Felicia Day, and my personal favorite: internalized misogyny.
In this off the rails episode of Femsplained, Diana and Avalon team up with the Damsels of Dorkington to play a one-shot drunk game of Honey Heist DM'd by Diana. The ladies play some crime-hungry bears hell-bent on stealing the largest supply of Honey the world has ever seen! Will they be successful? Will one of them betray the party? Or kill all the humans? Listen and find out!
On the latest wild romp homework episode of Femsplained, Avalon and Diana review what they've explored in the world of video games, cinema, and erotic fan fiction. So many important topics arise, like which muscle in the body is the most erotic, what bodily functions are the most podcast-appropriate, and Diana's obsession with Avalon's face.
In this special equal opportunity geek-out episode, Avalon and Diana femsplain the Animorphs series to each other in a nerdsplosion of joy. Also featuring slash fiction, scholastic book fairs, and Diana forgetting major plot points.
