#three black halflings

[heytherecentaurs]

Brennan Lee Mulligan and Matt Mercer talking about their friendship and Dungeons & Dragons for an hour was an absolute delight. I love them expressing the sentiment: This isn't a competition between actual play shows. Dimension 20 and Critical Role aren't competing against each other. They're a community. They build each other up by collaborating. And look how successful they've been. We get different stories from diverse creators because they lift one another up and spotlight and celebrate other creators.

Actual Play being a community is responsible for introducing me to so many of my favourite storytellers, and if it had been competitive and cutthroat, I would've never found their stories. What a horrible loss that would be for us all.

Roll for Melanin... It’s a Nat 20!

Three Black Halflings is a podcast by Jasper William Cartwright, Olivia Kennedy (but everybody calls her Liv), and Jeremy Cobb: three nerdy friends with strong opinions and even stronger Charisma scores. Join them in their quest to explore diversity in the incredible worlds of D&D and pop culture while doling out DM tips, thought-provoking conversations, a band of guests and good times!

the Zairoo promo just now had me recall an Afro-Fantasy TTRPG turned MMO video game called The Wagadu Chronicles which was super promising seems to have unfortunately been discontinued last year 😭

However, I will plug the podcast Three Black Halflings -- they've done a couple really fun dnd campaigns in the Wagadu setting, so you can hear about it there. Also, plugging their podcast in general which is all about everything Black and Fantasy! Fun stuff and cool Black creators‼️

Aww 🥺 damn. I actually have heard Three Black Halflings! We listened to their podcast on the way to a vacation, once! Seemed really cool to hear these conversations from our perspective.

I need to catch up on/get back into the three black halflings, so does anyone have any recommendations for campaigns to start with?

I just listened to @krystinaarielle's vignette in City of the Black Rose and I just want to say: I'm not sad. You're sad! It wasn't an hour long story that pulled at my heart strings while I was trying to work.

(Seriously though, what a great little story. Of all the vignettes so far, Theodore's is the one I most want to see expanded. I just want her to be happy).

I've said it on Twitter but no one follows me there so I'll scream in the void here as well ✨

If you are a Dimension 20 Burrow's End TM enjoyer and particularly if you love Jasper's performance as Thorn (and honestly, who wouldn't), do me a favour and go listen to Three Black Halflings, the ttrpg podcast hosted by Jasper along with Jeremy Cobb and Olivia Kennedy (but you can call her Liv!). Just trust me on this one, I need more people to get into 3BH immediately, they are amazing!

Their episodes are very varied, with one of the main focus being diversity in d&d/ttrpgs on all fronts. They are some of the most fun, insightful and creative people in this space! They have important, deep conversations with many incredibly talented folks, with an attention to inclusion of a diverse array of creators from minorities and marginalized backgrounds. They have multiple awesome campaigns that will make you cry and laugh at once (and you'll get more of Jasper's incredible roleplay, along with so many talented guests (Emily included, she's a guest for a few episodes on Outlaw and Obelisks, their post-apocalyptic western inspired campaign)). They try out different systems and new ttrpgs, but also discuss d&d with class dives and news episodes.

They have interviews with many people: to mention a few from d20 we're talking Bennan, Lou, Murph, Emily, Zac, Ify, Carlos, Gabe, Erika, Persephone, B.Dave, Krystina, Amy, Matt and Aabria at various times, but also people from the rest of Naddpod, Transplanar RPG, Oxventure, Dicebreaker and other cool spaces!

Not strictly related, but Jasper was also the first (and only, I think?) guest DM on Naddpod, I think his Potcedonia two-shot is some of the most fun content out there!

I need to see more of them in this space, as well as more fanart of their campaigns, so I need everyone to listen to their podcast. Here's a link to their Spotify! https://spotify.link/gXVjcTIm2Db
