Politics at the Gaming Table: An RPG and Politics Podcast
Fantasy & Science Fiction Podc
We know we are not your favorite podcast, but you do have a long commute."I don't play RPGs anymore because it got political! Artists should not be political! Oh, you whiney shitbirds. LIFE is political. Arts and entertainment have always been driven by politics." The above is paraphrasing The Bitchy Historian, but it is true.Some say politics do not belong at the gaming table, well we disagree. Politics is unavoidable and we feel they need to be discussed in the context of RPGs in a more productive environment than social media.

We will do that topic another time.
I thought some people might want to hear our choppy thoughts. As always if you have a comment email politicsrpg@gmail.com.
