Let’s talk frankly about why racism at the table shouldn’t be a thing you do as a GM or player. Also, let’s get real about racism in our settings and campaigns, talk about what we can do to stamp it out as much as possible in a land where elves, orcs, and dragons roam but racism seems to be a neverending boss battle.

It's been two years, 95 episodes, numerous amazing guests but it's time to say farewell.

We've had a great run over the last two years, and it's been amazing for a show that started out as a happy accident to run for so long, to have so many amazing folks grace the mic . Thank you to every single guest, guest host and fan of the show. Thank you to everyone who's said a kind word about the show after the announcement came out about Tokens ending.

The show might be ending, but the episodes will remain on Simplecast, archived. We'll leave Fresh Out of Tokens merch up in the I Need Diverse Games spreadshirt shop, and the twitter will be here even if it serves as more of an archive.

Thank you to everyone who listened, who took a chance on a fledgling show to come on and be a guest, or promoted the show, or talked us up on twitter, Facebook or anywhere else. Special thanks to Shareef Jackson for rocking out with a Tokens mug early on.

Don't be strangers, keep up with our outgoing EIC on twitter, tumblr, facebook, and her site; if you got a little coin to spare; Tanya is on Patreon to keep doing I Need Diverse Games as a full time gig.

Also! Check out these other shows that are doing amazing work and having some great conversations.

Note: Though the questions sent in by listeners are in the show notes, we had some technical difficulties and have to re-record the Q&A portion of the show. Part II will air later in May.

Questions for Zoe

Jarryd Huntley: What's your favorite metal band(if applicable😉)? Jk, but what's your favorite band(s)?

Jamie Jeans: Sorry if this is so simple but... how are you? Are you doing okay?

What was behind the decision to go old school for the live action video game design of the Chuck Tingle Digital Adventure game? I hadn't seen that in a LONG long time.

TimpoAdante: You have done a lot of incredible things, and you constantly advocate for others even in those moments when most people would just be seeking to shore up support for themselves. What is something you've done (that you can actually talk about) that you are proudest of, whether a lot of folks already know about it or not?

Out of all the folks you've worked with, who do you still hope you'll get the opportunity to work with, and what kind of thing would you like to make or do with them?

What was the most surprising thing you were able to notice or do after getting your magnetic implant? Is this implant the harbinger of the cybernetic revolution?

@The_Doc_Webb: Any characters that proved to be a pleasant surprise (i.e., initially appeared to be a "gimmick" or worse but eventually proved to be a nuanced representation?

@Jaysla_: a lot of games (esp horror) use sanity as a mechanic - is there a way to do this well, accepting that scary situations will have a mental toll without being reductive or gross?

@BreenIsTerrible: Same question for The Sims series Insane trait. It seems to be a huge mess right now.

Our questions for Charles:

Tell us a little bit about you, who you are, what you do?

What’s your gaming origin story?

I love that you have Senior Black Writer in your twitter bio. Is there a story behind that?

So Mafia III, and Lincoln Clay. How did you get involved with the game?

Is there any of you in Lincoln and how he’s written?

The game does not flinch from racism, how hard did you (and the team) have to push to get this to happen?

Do you think other games will start to address racism rather than half-stepping around it as they usually do?

There’s a mission in the game where you have to get blackmail material on a rival. Turns out he’s making gay porn. That seems really high risk for the time period the game is set in. Why make the blackmail material about being gay? Why not something else?

There’s been an “interesting” disparity in reviews of the game. I’ve noticed a lot of white reviewers noting they feel fatigued by all the racism, and don’t understand why it’s there. Did you expect once reviews started dropping?

Will the blunt way racism is presented in the main game continue with future content for Mafia III?

Do you find that trying to have discussions about race and racism in games tiring, especially with all the pushback from people who can’t understand why this is important?

We’re seeing more black male leads in games finally. Do you think Mafia III and other games are a turning point for more representation?

Aside from being senior black writer, what’s next for you? (that you can talk about of course)

What we’re playing/reading/watching:

Charles: Nothing right now, small human and working on Mafia III DLC is taking all his time.

Tanya: Mafia III, CIV VI, Skyrim Special Edition

@Thain1982:

What other franchise(s) would you like to see add an older woman as a playable character or protagonist

Nico: Overwatch, World of Warcraft, No Man’s Sky, Penny Dreadful

Tanya: Sims 4 with Dragon Age mods

David: Still just Starbound and Pokemon Go. I did watch Stranger Things recently tho.

Questions for Yvvy:

@annatarkov:

Do you think the game could actually change minds and was that your goal in making it or no?

In general, do you think games as a medium can be effective as an advocacy tool? Have you actually seen it work?

@Tenji95

Yvvy wanted to use gaming in order to create representation, thus increasing empathy. Seeing as Police Brutality is one of the topics addressed here; what other topics do they see games taking on to address?

What are the benefits of using gaming as a platform to increase empathy? Its' shortcomings?

I'm currently learning JavaScript ( I have minimal HTML/CSS thanks to CodeAcademy) JavaScript has been hard to learn due to the multiple classes I already handle, both online and offline. Is there an alternative, or do I just power through?My primary operating system is Chrome OS.

Is there an app that can run/emulate PC games; because I'd really like to support this endeavor! (Seeing as I can't donate)

@Thain1982:

What drove the choice to show police violence targeting uninvolved bystanders to brutality already underway?

A lot of parents actively avoid games with child death or peril. Who do you hope plays Easy Level Life?

(followup) Is a player's act of conscious avoidance actually a part of what you are hoping to communicate?

What we’re playing/reading/watching:

Yvvy: D Grayman, Zero Time Dilemma, Ni no Kuni

JP: Pokemon Go, Midnight Tango Taxi, Fugitive Plan B, Monthly Girl’s Nozaki-kun

Listener Feedback/Question about our episode with Liam Esler:

Hello to all,

Listening to latest podcast, I got to the part about entitled fans &
the statement "there's a generation that feels voiceless & the only
way they know to get attention & get heard is threats" (I'm
paraphrasing here, but that's close to what was said) and I feel some
kind of way about this viewpoint.

Mainly that it is, at best, incomplete. And here's why: The people
that statement can apply to and not be erroneous? Predominantly white.
Also, predominantly cishet. Most of modern history, people of color,
queer folks, trans folks, have known nothing BUT being ignored to
outright being silenced. This feeling of being ignored isn't a new
thing for this generation of marginalized peoples/voices. And yes, the
rise of social media has given us platforms for our viewpoints and
ways to make our voices heard but still nowhere near the level of
perspectives that have always been elevated in the dialogue.

What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Jay

1 Year Anniversary notes from our listeners

@krageinsf /Juls:

Hello Tanya and David.

I just wanted to send a note about how much I love your show and how
much it means to me, as someone who is NOT a gamer. I don't play many
of the games you talk about, but I started listening because of the
INeedDiverseGames.

The content of your show is just superb. As a teacher, I am always
looking for other sources of information to strengthen and improve my
teaching/presentations. The wealth of knowledge shared by you (as
hosts), your guests, and the other listeners of the show is amazing. I
feel so lucky to have stumbled onto your podcast and listen in
exchange for a few donations when I can scrape together the cash. (To
other listeners, if you are able, PLEASE PLEASE DONATE!).

Although I am not a gamer, your show has helped me learn about pros,
cons, and meh about some of the games my sister and her partner do
play. There is a really great balance of enough detail that I can
follow along when I watch her play, but not so overwhelming that I'm
completely shut out of the discussion.

Thank you so much for your show.

Best, Juls

-Tim (@thain1982)

I truly loved both times I got to be on Fresh Out of Tokens. I was a
little nervous when I found out the episode with David and Andrew
would be a free discussion, since that was my first time on any
podcast, but we had a really fantastic conversation, and the Star Trek
discussion we had was great fun.

Coming back to guest host the interview with BioFanOfficial was even
more fun. Sharing all the Bioware feels was just fantastic, and I love
that Tanya brings Bioware love up so much in the show in general.

I love the work y'all are doing, and getting to be a small part of it
was a tremendous honor (and an absolute blast). Any time y'all need
an emergency guest host, just say the word.

Questions for Ashe:

Via @lasersushi:

Curious to know if you had any experience/tips for how to become a twitch partner in Europe (Germany) I'm sorry it's super specific! Just so curious since most twitch partners here have lower figures than in NA.

In general terms, any tips for applying at twitch would be appreciated as well <3

Via @Pringtella:

What's your favorite BioWare romance and why?

What's your favorite type of cheese?

Via @Thain1982:

Which Bioware franchise (past or present) has your favorite lore?

If you could bring a Bioware franchise back (or put it back in their hands), which one would it be?

Does your background in esports help or affect your work with Twitch in any way?

80 Days feels simultaneously challenging and forgiving. Was that intentional? (if so) how did you do that?

Are there any other classic stories you would like to revisit in a similar manner to 80 Days?

I loved being able to share my 80 Days journey at the end of the game. Was that feature always planned?

Also, would you consider a greater failing to be assuming audience homogeny or uninspired text?

Via Thain1982

If you had an unlimited budget and any development team you wanted, what game would you like to design?

What are your thoughts on the "disability as superpower" trope (as in Daredevil or upcoming game Perception)?

Are games making steps toward welcoming disabled gamers or have pushes for accessibility largely stagnated?

Questions for Martin:

Via Nadia C:

  1. How many design iterations did Yarny go through before he was finalized into the character we ended up playing?

  2. Crabs, birds, machinery, electrocution! You monsters! ;) Seriously though, how difficult was it to animate those grisly death/fail scenes?

  3. What does Coldwood have in store for us in the future?

Via Shareef Jackson:

  1. Did you design the platform mechanics first and then add visuals later? Or vice versa?

  2. How did you choose the length of the yarn? Was it longer / shorter in earlier versions?

  3. Have you played yoshi's wooly world? If so, what do you think?

Via KalliMuse:

Could there ever be another game featuring Yarny? Or did Unravel cover everything that needed to be said?

Via Jay:

What was it like creating such detailed digital versions of real life environments?

Via Thain1982

  1. The soundtrack is perfect all the way through. Are there any plans to release it for sale?

  2. Is Yarny officially part of the Inquisition now, and will he be traveling to Tevinter?

  3. Was the epilogue planned from the beginning, or was it demanded after seeing the ending?

  4. Was there a deliberate attempt to make players want to protect Yarny?

Hi Tanya, hi David,

I just wanted to say how much I love your podcast! These conversations
are so important and you always have such interesting guests.

I've always felt like gaming was such a white boys' club and never
really felt welcome in these spaces (as a bisexual afrolatina). So I
didn't really get into it until a couple of years ago and I'm
especially grateful for the alternative -- and safe!! -- spaces these
conversations are creating, which allow for thoughtful discussions of
gender, race, sexuality etc. in games without being immediately shut
down.

I haven't listened to all of your episodes yet, but I really enjoyed
the DA2 girls' night episode, it was so much fun to listen to.

Also, will you be doing a Mass Effect episode as well? I just thought
it would be interesting, since the games deal with themes such as
genocide and medical violence etc.

Anyway, thank you so much for the work you do from an avid listener in
Germany!

PS. Please excuse my awkward English, I'm not a native speaker.

Questions for Lena:

Via @Thain1982:

•Do you have specific methods for getting into a workflow for music versus scripting

•You can only listen to one album for the next 6 months. What do you choose?

Note: These came in via the GW Tumblr community: [Lena couldn't address these but we did them generally as best we could]

•For the 2015 Halloween event, some of the event drop dyes were named in a way that was upsetting to the fan base because they were disrespectful to the mentally ill. Based on fan reaction, they were changed before release. [someone found the names via datamining] Can you talk about the feedback and response that lead to the changes before it went live?

•There’s not a lot of natural hair options available despite being able to make a (visibly) POC character. Will there be options added? Norns having locs and other natural hairstyles available were examples.

•Related to these two questions; would having more POC/LGBTQIA people involved in the writing and art processes have prevented a stumble like the poorly named dyes, or lack of natural hair options?

This episode guest edited by Kahlief Adams of the Spawn On Me podcast

Questions for Anthony:

from @Thain1982:

•What is the one game you think everyone should experience, and why?

•Hey Anthony, whatcha reading?

•Was Borderlands 2 made for Bronies, and am I an honorary Brony because I enjoyed it? (maybe explain context of that being a thing during your GX3 panel?)

from @Psi_Kat:

•Handsome Jack is a polarizing figure in that so many people felt empathy for him, even going so far as to defend his actions. What was the thought process in creating such a nuanced villain that plays the gamer as much as the Vault Hunters?

•I have heard conflicting things about Axton. I know that because of the reviving glitch that made him hit on male as well as female teammates he was then made bi in canon. But I have also heard that he was initially supposed to be written as gay, but gearbox decided not to. My question is: which came first?

from @jessicadennis:

•Tell us more about Ellie; how involved were you with her story, and how do you feel about the message of her character and story, particularly the Positive Body Image quest? What was the inspiration? Obviously it's super unusual to have an obese character in a game other than to be the butt of stupid jokes, so it would be interesting to hear more about how Ellie came about.

Questions for Deborah

Two questions from @Thain1982: Are there any games that actually offer a good representation of MH issues?

I don’t think any Triple A games really do a great job with this, but I give Bioware credit for trying. I think the presentation of Cullen in DAI dealing with his Lyrium addiction is pretty good, as well as his trauma at the hands of mages. I find most attempts to present mental health issues pretty tropey, like most representation attempts, but I appreciate when people try!

http://motherboard.vice.com/read/this-game-takes-players-into-a-world-of-psychosis

I haven’t played any demos, but I’m hopeful. I like that it’s 3rd person instead of 1st person, as 1st person can be really overwhelming. If this game promotes more understanding and less demonization of mental illness, then great. It’s produced with Wellcome Trust, a neuroscience/mental health organization, so it at least has that?

For a good discussion re mental health, particularly psychotic disorders, see Justice Points http://justicepoints.com/2015/09/29/episode-112-just-smooch/

I really like the folks at Edgelab at Ryerson, they are very thoughtful re disability issues and super creative. Their work is exciting: http://edgelab.ryerson.ca/ Jason Nolan and Melanie McBride seriously kick ass.

Sam Phillips of Match 3 mentioned this site, and it’s worth a look: http://ontologicalgeek.com/mental-health-month-call-for-articles/

Are there particular games you have encountered that are helpful in managing depression or anxiety

This is a tough question because it’s actually really personal. What one person finds soothing, another may find triggery. I love Smash Hit, a mobile game, but know other people that hate it and find it agitating. Anxiety is deeply connected to our underlying fight/flight/freeze response, and everyone is wired differently. Some people respond more strongly than others to novel situations that they don’t choose. I used to play World of Warcraft to chill, then it got too Grim Dark and colonialist and gross and I had to go.

Some research supports repetitive games like Tetris as soothing for anxiety, addiction, etc, see http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306460315002762

Via @MightyGregDoge: Do you feel DA2 does a good job of framing the trauma and loss experienced by Hawke and co?

For a good discussion re mental health, particularly psychotic disorders, see Justice Points http://justicepoints.com/2015/09/29/episode-112-just-smooch/

I really like the folks at Edgelab at Ryerson, they are very thoughtful re disability issues and super creative. Their work is exciting: http://edgelab.ryerson.ca/ Jason Nolan and Melanie McBride seriously kick ass.

Sam Phillips of Match 3 mentioned this site, and it’s worth a look: http://ontologicalgeek.com/mental-health-month-call-for-articles/

Are there particular games you have encountered that are helpful in managing depression or anxiety

This is a tough question because it’s actually really personal. What one person finds soothing, another may find triggery. I love Smash Hit, a mobile game, but know other people that hate it and find it agitating. Anxiety is deeply connected to our underlying fight/flight/freeze response, and everyone is wired differently. Some people respond more strongly than others to novel situations that they don’t choose. I used to play World of Warcraft to chill, then it got too Grim Dark and colonialist and gross and I had to go.

Some research supports repetitive games like Tetris as soothing for anxiety, addiction, etc, see http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306460315002762

Questions for Chachi & Andrew:

‏@DavidDavidhin98 is your real name chachi?

@Thain1982: Solas or Cullen? ;)

@MightyGregDoge: Should Ms. Marvel be made into a movie or series, and is there anyone you'd want cast in it?

@dwyercd via email So my big takeaway from Trespasser (apart from never, ever, ever trust a Ben Hassrath) is that apparently there's this impending Elvhen v. Everyone Else war, and Solas wants to wipe out the non-Elf part of Thedas. Which side would you be pulling for? Am I the only one solidly on Team Elf? (side question: is "Elvhen" the correct adjective form of Elf in Thedas, or is that just the language?)

So we’re doing things a little differently this time around, David gets the night off as we have a ladies night to spill all our Hawke feels on the table, the floor, everywhere. Tanya is joined by Sylvia Monreal and LC Brown to have a night of Hawke FEELS! This happened because of a question LC asked of Sylvia before she joined us for the first time on Fresh Out of Tokens.

Also! We had our first fanmail relevant to both Dragon Age and Sylvia's time with us, so we added that into the show :) Full text is below:

> Subject: ALL THE DRAGON AGE FEELZ!

Hello! I just wanted to say that I really loved your discussion on
Dragon Age and the Hawke Immigration piece! I was really pleased that
other people put as much personal stuff onto their Hawkes/Inquisitors
as I do. I’ve had issues with masculinity in general and as a queer
man, something that playing Mass Effect and Dragon Age have helped me
with. I just wanted to say that I really loved this episode and I
think that Fresh Out of Tokens is really fantastic and you all are
doing great work and through this podcast I’ve been introduced to
great people in the industry. (Also, if you do ever get the urge to do
a Dragon Age feels podcast, I would be glad to lend my voice!)

Thank you so much for everything you guys are doing!
From Tyler Pollock, cyberpunkwarlok on Twitter

Points of discussion for this episode:

•LC: DA2 as a story of grief, mothers in Dragon Age, female friendships (which ones work, which ones don’t) - just some ideas

•Sylvia: Controlling versus being Hawke - how does playing Hawke differ from nameless heroes like the Warden or the Inquisitor? Was your Hawke their own person or an avatar, and how did that affect the game for you? Who is your Hawke’s best friend? DA2 as an immigrant story - Sylvia on FemHype

•Tanya: Fenris and Tevinter, the way in which his trauma as a former is ignored, and the way in which the fandom seems to ignore/coddle/fails to acknowledge lyrium addiction, by Templars, and also vilifies Anders w/o accepting the abuse he faced in the Circle.

What we’re playing:

Lara: Guacamelee (new edition), Fibbage, Hatoful Boyfriend

Sylvia: Assassin’s Creed: Liberation, No Pineapple Left Behind (Alpha)

Tanya: Dragon Age Inquisition

We're now on Facebook, iTunes and Stitcher! You can get our RSS feed to add to your favorite podcast listening app. The one place we're not yet on is SoundCloud. We're trying to decide on setting up shop there too.

That said, feel free to give feedback, topic ideas or if you want to come and hang with us, drop a line to us at freshoutoftokens@gmail.com or on twitter at @OutOfTokensCast.

We've got music in this episode!

Thanks for joining us for the second episode of Fresh Out of Tokens podcast. Thanks for your feedback on our first show. As for the audio quality, it should be improved with this episode due to new equipment and individually recorded tracks instead of one track for everyone. Now we have tees, and other items in the #INeedDiverseGames spreadshirt shop. We’re splitting the profits 50/50 with @ChachiBobinks who designed our supercute new logo.

Welcome to the first episode of Fresh Out of Tokens!

A little about the show: so we've been sitting on doing a podcast for a whole and decided to run with it. The title actually came to about due to a comment when I was on Justice Points earlier in the year. I made a crack about tokens belonging in the arcade, and when I was trying to think of a name for the show fresh out of tokens came to me.

We'll bring you a new show every other week, sometimes with a guest sometimes not depending on how things shake out. Since this is the first episode, please feel free to give feedback, topic ideas or if you want to come and hang with me let me know at freshoutoftokens@gmail.com or on twitter at @OutOfTokensCast.
