Episode 4 Part 2: If You Give A Goblin A Kitten
Thursday Jun 25, 2020
Thursday Jun 25, 2020
Content Warning: Discussion of the negative impacts of "race science" and alignment with regards to race and species. We are two white Midwesterners and are doing our best to discuss with care, but if we have spoken poorly or incorrectly absolutely let us know.
In part 2 of this two-part discussion, Rachelle and Ethan do a deep dive into the tangled history of goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears as well as the history and biology of humans and other human-like species on earth. We review intelligence of species and the issues of alignment with these "monster races". As well, we talk about the impacts of epigenetics and what happens when you give a goblin a kitten.
Submit any questions, comments, corrections, and creature stories for our "Creature Feature" by Tweeting @NatTwentyPod or emailing naturaltwentypodcast@gmail.com.
Thanks to Wizards of the Coast and TSR for their wonderful game that we all enjoy.
