Misunderstanding Harley Quinn: Victim or Villain?
Release Date: 4/4/2021
Duration: 49 Mins
Description: Harley Quinn is one of the most popular female DC characters, and she remains one of the most recent additions to achieve this sort of fame, appearing first in Bruce Tim's animated Batman series during the 90s. Because of her popularity, charm, and beauty, people have a tendency to simplify her and misunderstand some of the core motives and issues of the character. Some people perceive her as a role-model, a mere victim of domestic abuse, or even as a crazy karma Houdini villain who manages to get away with doing evil and stealing the audience's sympathy at the same time. Many of these one-sided views on the character fail to do her justice, and Harley Quinn remains a source of untapped potential for solid storytelling and personal conflict.

Creating the Barbarian in Fantasy
Release Date: 12/16/2020

Description: Join me as I study the origins of the standard fantasy barbarian. It did not just suddenly appear in Dungeons and Dragons, though that aforementioned RPG is greatly responsible for the modern gaming presentation of the class. The barbarian class was born out of human fear and admiration, developing through many cultures and forms before falling into the hands of Gary Gygax. Come barbarian players and those who travel with them, let me help you understand that raging class just a bit better.
