Panelcast
Responsible Research
Recorded at Metatopia 2019
Presented by Jason Pitre, Misha Bushyager, James Mendez Hodes.
Some of the best games deal with heavy topics and challenging subject matter. Creators who look to design or publish games addressing sensitive subject matter need to do due diligence to reduce the chance their work could do harm. In this panel, we will discuss how creators can ethically do the legwork and research to tackle issues of race, sexuality, identity, and trauma. https://genesisoflegend.podbean.com/e/episode-243-responsible-research/
Truth, Survival, and Empowerment in Darker Narratives
Recorded at Metatopia 2018
Presented by Mabel Harper, Avonelle Wing, Misha Bushyager, and Eli Eaton.
A discussion about why some people, specifically members of minority groups, might feel drawn to darker games and survival narratives, and how fiction of this nature both describes reality and can also provide answers, empowerment, and revolutionary verve in a world that is hostile to racial, sexual, ethnic, and gender minorities. https://genesisoflegend.podbean.com/e/episode-215-truth-survival-and-empowerment-in-darker-narratives/

What’s Off Limits for Games?
Recorded at Breakout 2019
Presented by Nicole Winchester, Mo Turkington, Misha Bushyager, Sharang Biswas & Jonaya Kemper with moderation by Jason Pitre
Different individuals, communities, countries, and cultures have different ideas about what LARPs and roleplaying games should and should not address, and as gaming communities interact on and offline these ideas often come into conflict. What is acceptable in a game, and who gets to make that decision? How do we have productive and compassionate conversations about these issues? Are there things that games are not equipped to address, or are we limiting games by limiting their subjects? https://genesisoflegend.podbean.com/e/episode-210-whats-off-limits-for-games/
Intersectional Feminism
Recorded at Metatopia 2018
Presented by Julia Ellingboe, Moyra Turkington, Jonaya Kemper, and Misha Bushyager.
“Intersectional Feminism: Game Design That Tackles Topics that Matter”. Designing historical games is complicated, especially when we’re telling the stories of people who are often forgotten. How do we handle those stories without accidentally perpetuating or compounding existing damage? https://genesisoflegend.podbean.com/e/episode-193-intersectional-feminism/
