Characters Without Stories

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.
