The Unexpected End to Star Trek Tigris

I’m sorry to say this, but apparently the last two episodes of Star Trek: Tigris have been lost. Rather than end the series on a cliffhanger, we decided to just abruptly end the series.

Again, sorry to everyone that has been following the series. It is unfortunate that we will never get to see the big series finale. Personally, I blame the changelings and Google Drive for this massive systems failure. If I have learned anything from this series, it is that I should probably start irradiating people to find the infiltrator.

While I have your attention, I would like to take a brief moment to thank Joe, Sean, Birk, and Aaron C. for sharing their Star Trek game with RPX. It has been a hell of a ride. Having the option to actually participate in one of these games while attending Gen Con 2019 was an unexpected treat. Thanks for including me in this great series.

As for everyone else, thank you for following along on the adventures of the Mercury and then Tigris. I hope you’ve enjoyed these games as much as I have.

Episode 55 – Orcs Aren’t Evil

In the summer of 2020, Dungeons and Dragons announced that along with removing past racially insensitive material from its books and adding more diverse writers and game designers, that they were also removing the well-used trope of “evil races” from their game.  Since it has been nearly a calendar year since that announcement, we here at the Roleplaying Exchange decide to weigh in on this topic.  If you have listened to us for any amount of time, you can probably guess where we are going to land on the matter.

Joining in on this conversation is Adam, Chris, Laura May, Rob, and special guests/honorary RPXers David from Role Playing Public Radio and Crazon from Al Dente Rigamortis and One Less Die.
