Do you use cultural symbols in your games? Imitate accents to bring your game to life? In today's episode I chat a little about cultural appropriation within the GM space - when it is inspiration and when does it become appropriation? I also talk about one of the more commonly asked questions - becoming a professional GM. How do you make the change to being a paid GM? What should you charge? All questions we discuss in this episode.
