101: Racist Space Monkeys

Join your Gamer Friends as they embark on the first episode with the new format! This time, we're joined by friend of the show and Dungeon Master @KetracelBlack (https://twitter.com/ketracelblack) to discuss the recent Dungeons & Dragons controversy surrounding the Hadozee, a race of space monkeys that some claim to be racist charicatures of Black people. We talk about the origins of the drama, the merits of the arguments against the Hadozee and other race-focused play in D&D, as well as other similar trends going on in the tabletop space. For more context, check out the links in the show notes. We're really excited about having more of these conversatrions in the future, and we'd love to hear your feedback! As always, you can reach us at [e-mail].
