Community Table Talk: How to DM a Diverse Group
Event description
Running great games isn't just about epic storytelling; it's about making sure everyone at your table feels like they belong.
Whether you're a seasoned Game Master or just starting out, join the Melbourne Queer TTRPG Community around the table to learn from expert GMs and community members who bring lived experience and professional insights to running inclusive, accessible games. Our panellists will dive into disability and accessibility, race, sexuality and gender (and more!) at the gaming table. Stay after the panel presentation to continue the discussion and connect during our community discussion. Let's build tables where every player feels safe, celebrated, and free to bring their whole self to the game. Grab your free ticket and join the conversation!
