“If we interpret a 'traditional' GM’s authority over storytelling as being similar to that of a Rakugoka to their 'banashi', then perhaps we can consider the traditional Rakugoka’s structured training in empathy to be a useful lens through which to understand safety in TTRPGs.”

Even before tori emailed offering to produce a piece for the magazine, I had already envisioned their art on the cover. I just knew it would be perfect for the magazine. If I could have only them do the covers forever, I would. They have a project on at the moment so take a look at their profile.

Today, we played CONVICT-ION at The Arcanist's Tavern. 🦋 Our characters investigated a cult in the prison, got into a cage fight, and had a group therapy session with a creepy therapist. 🧑🏻‍⚕️ The photo also depicts a working Chinese translation of the game. 👀 #belongingoutsidebelonging
