Something I've seen a lot of recently which is really starting to bother me is the assumption that everyone who plays D&D must have access to a copy of the DMG and must be familiar with its content. Y'all... 3 books at $60AUD each is spensive.

Jumanji (1995) really said "I see your pitch of a fun, wacky board game with a jungle theme, love that, but what if we use this as an opportunity to examine parent-child relationships and the impact of trauma on young people."

The first time I really played in a ttrpg, a friend of mine invited me to join a campaign he was starting with friends. The group was all men and me. They were all very welcoming, we got along, and I had a lot of fun. They're all cool guys. BUT...

Even when it’s “ha ha, look at what a jerk my character is,” all it does is remind me that I don’t get to just be another player, I am “the person who’s not like us,” even if my character is 6’ tall and towers over their tiny dwarf. Yuck.

I don't think I've ever mentioned it to Colville, but the reason he's always been my favourite D&D Matt to harvest advice from is that I feel like I'm allowed to disagree with him and he'd encourage it.

It's important to acknowledge that a lot of the time people aren't actively trying to exclude others, or intending to cause harm, but it still happens. It can be hard to recognise how tiring the weight of difference is when you aren't the one carrying it.

@mattcolville Buuuut, in my D&D setting wizards use towers as like reverse light houses. There aren't many wizards coz it takes so long to be one, so if a town needs help they can light a signal fire and the wizard can see a long way in all directions from their tower to know if they're needed

They would make throw-away jokes in character about my PC being "just a girl". Ask the GM how attractive or unattractive female NPCs were. All these little, fairly innocuous things that people aren't doing to hurt you at all... They build up. And they get heavier, and heavier.
