Ep. 15 - Initiative Role Women's Month Special Episode

Hey all! This week on Initiative Role, we bring Nathaniel's wife Olivia on to discuss the problematic history, poor representation, and potential of women in D&D. There's some audio errors here due to Audacity losing some files. Sorry!

You'll meet the talented woman behind our Instagram account;

You'll hear the short but troubled history of women in fantasy;

We'll talk about how to make a good backstory;

We spotlight one of our favorite women in our current campaign;
