About this Podcast:

Characters Without Stories is a tabletop role playing game podcast about the roads not yet traveled. Every episode I bring in a friend to tell me about their unplayed character and their approach to creating characters. I cover all kinds of RPGs - from indies to D&D. I've had some fascinating conversations about how our characters intersect with and reveal our identities and how play is a gateway to understanding ourselves. I hope you'll give it a listen. Thank you and may all your characters find their stories.
