Building Barkadan: Tadhana Joy on Stories About the Filipino Diaspora and Writing From Lived Experience | Episode #112 | Asians Represent!Tadhana Joy, a Filipino American TTRPG writer, fiction author, poet, and Actual Play performer, joins Asians Represent to talk about Barkadan: City of Noise and Plenty, a survival horror and high fantasy tabletop RPG inspired by the culture of the Philippines and the Filipino-American experience. Instead of creating a direct fantasy interpretation of Filipino folklore and mythology, Tadhana built Barkadan from her own family's real history. Their family's stories and experiences became the city's gods, demons, and antagonists. We dig into why she made that choice, how co-creator Jesse's Legacy and Saga system uses a mechanic called "swing" to build shared narratives, and how reputation and community mechanics tie every player's story together.

Daniel & Drew Keep Their Gaming Groups Alive | No Dice, No Problem | Episode #45Daniel and Drew are back and there's a lot to catch up on! Daniel opens up about losing his grandfather this month. From there, the boys look ahead to July and the upcoming Asians Represent episode on BattleTech's Capellan Confederation and why it's a fascinating (and challenging) subject. In Battle Report, Daniel recaps a packed month of hobbying - Anime North, lunch with Forgotten Realms creator Ed Greenwood, and a lot of model kits and TCG events! Drew, meanwhile, has been diving into Riftbound and navigating the new 11th Edition of Warhammer 40K. He also shared a story about a particularly...fragrant night at Miniature Market. For mail time, the guys tackled a deceptively deep question - how do you keep a gaming group going? Daniel breaks down five skills: consistency, candor, initiative, mutual effort, and making people feel seen. Drew shared some hard lessons from friendships that faded, and why short-term conflict is always better than long-term rot. A personal update on Daniel's family and the month off BattleTech episode preview: Capellan Confederation and yellow peril Book giveaway: a signed copy of Race and Monstrosity in Dungeons & Dragons by Chris LeCluyse Battle Report: Anime North, Ed Greenwood, Gundam Card Game locals, Warhammer 40K 11th Edition Riftbound impressions and the unofficial online client GW's quiet crackdown on Tabletop Simulator mods How to keep a gaming group alive: five skills every player needs Drew's DBT-informed take on conflict, communication, and friendship Patron Q&A *We are working on conducting a follow up interview with Dr. LeCluyse on race and monstrosity in D&D, so drop any questions you have about the topic in the #show-discussions channel in our Discord server! //SPONSOR Fans of Asians Represent and No Dice, No Problem can head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠adventuredice.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for 10% off the entire store with code AZNSREPRESENT! //FOLLOW Website | aznsrepresent.com Bluesky | @aznsrepresent YouTube | ⁠⁠youtube.com/@aznsrepresent⁠⁠ Follow Daniel @danielhkwan and Drew @DrewQuon on Bluesky //CONTACT If you have questions about this episode’s themes, suggestions, or anything else related to Asians Represent, get in touch with us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠aznsrepresent.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ //MUSIC Honey Bee by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/⁠

Race & Monstrosity in D&D | Asians Represent! | Episode 111Where do orcs really come from? In this episode of the Asians Represent! podcast, Daniel and Drew sit down with Dr. Christopher LeCluyse, a professor of literature, media, and writing at Westminster University to discuss his new book, Race & Monstrosity in Dungeons & Dragons. Chris' work traces how depictions of “monstrous races” in the game are rooted in more than 2,000 years of history and how these influences continue to shape how race functions in the game. From ancient Greek descriptions of headless monsters to J.R.R. Tolkien's hierarchy of fantasy beings, this episode maps a clear picture of how real-world racial stereotypes became embedded in the DNA of fantasy gaming. CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of racism, colonialism, violence, and the portrayal of monstrous races in fantasy media. In this episode, we cover: How Tolkien and Gygax "inherited", rather than invented, racial frameworks The parallel between the drow "evil black matriarchy" trope and the concurrent rise of the "welfare queen" stereotypes in American politics How race and power are manifested in early AD&D rules How 5th edition D&D's revised rules represent real progress, and where that work is still incomplete Alternative design approaches that deconstruct essentialism and gives players narrative agency over their ancestry Check out Race & Monstrosity in Dungeons & Dragons when it comes out next month - https://mcfarlandbooks.com/product/race-and-monstrosity-in-dungeons-dragons/.

A Soldier for All Seasons ft. Dr. Melissa Karmen Lee | Episode 110 | Asians Represent!In this powerful episode of Asians Represent, Daniel sat down with Dr. Melissa Karmen Lee, CEO of the Chinese Canadian Museum, to explore the overlooked history of Chinese Canadians during the Second World War and how their service became a turning point in the fight for equal rights in Canada. Recorded during a visit to Vancouver last summer, this conversation dives into the museum’s permanent exhibition, A Soldier for All Seasons, and reflects on the legacy of Chinese Canadian veterans who volunteered to serve a country that denied them the right to vote.
