Perspective Checks | Gloria (GlowPinkstah) - Body Representation in TTRPGs

Welcome to another episode of Perspective Checks where I sit down with friends and folks from the TTRPG world and discuss what they love about this wonderful hobby!   This month I sat down with Gloria a.k.a. GlowPinkstah, a prolific content creator, TTRPG actual play podcaster, streamer, YouTuber, and advocate for body positivity throughout all media! We talk about all things body representation, playing hot fat characters, how games depict (or don't) all kinds of body shapes and sizes, and how mainstream depictions have created a default negative connotation with fat characters.   Gloria was super fun to talk to, an amazing person to follow online, and has some of the best character names I've ever heard.   Listen to all of her content at Charm Party, and see her as a guest on Castleton and Somebody's Heroes!   I made a Ko-Fi if you feel absurdly generous and want to help cover podcast hosting costs & all the upkeep. I'm still working on whether I want to offer anything special over there or just give my extreme gratitude (maybe some stickers or something in the mail) to those who donate, but no pressure whatsoever :)   Where to Follow Rene Plays Games: LinkTree | Instagram | Facebook | X/Twitter | Threads | DMs After Dark email: [email protected]   Music in the Episode: Theme Song written & produced by Dan Pomfret | @danfrombothbands
