Week of Reflection

Hey there listeners, This is your GM Trevor. Unfortunately, we came across some troubling statements on a recent Reddit post regarding our show that stemmed from a cast member's interest in a controversial film currently in theaters. The cast wasn't aware of the breadth or content of the filmmaker's past work, other than  that he is a controversial right-wing figure. This has been unfortunately seen as an approval of the filmmaker's hateful statements and by extension a statement regarding our positions on the LGBTQ community at large, and the trans community specifically.I want to be clear that on no uncertain terms, Roll for Intent and our production company stand against bigotry  and hate speech in every form.  We have from day one striven to provide an open atmosphere that would encourage anyone to pull up a chair and join our table.  All of us have been players and game masters for years and would never want anyone to feel uncomfortable when sitting next to us sharing our stories.We took this week to reflect on how to respond, and how to address issues like this going forward.  I have to admit, this is a problem that we never expected to have, given the general political beliefs of the cast which we have been regularly open about both on the show and in our discord , and so it was important for us all to discuss it and figure out how we could do a better job of maintaining that open, welcoming atmosphere that we really want to portray with our show, with the interactions with our listeners, and with the general gaming community at large.So finally, I want to end with “I’m sorry - we screwed up - we will do better.”We'll be back next week - take care.
