Everett Nichols, a Protector Who Defends What Matters - Healing from the Past with DJ BeeZee (Old Gods of Appalachia)

Content Warning this episode for brief mentions of forced sterilization (49:03-49:53) and death of a child (57:40-57:48).

DJ BeeZee brings Everett Nichols to the table. Everett is a union man, through and through, who defends those closest to him.

DJ and I discuss healing from generational trauma, the union history of Appalachia, and how finding player agency in TTRPGs can be cathartic when we lack agency in our lives.

This character is built for Old Gods of Appalachia, a Cypher System game by Monte Cook, based on the podcast of the same name.

DJ BeeZee is an AuDHD Game Master for Hire and Co-Host of One Shot’s Tavern, a TTRPG podcast focused on learning about all of the tools and mechanics that TTRPGs across the spectrum offer in order to become better story tellers, game masters, and game designers.
