S2E9: Aya Bailey, the Rebellious Scion Decolonizing TTRPGs with Quinn Scion 2e

Quinn brings Aya Bailey to the table. Aya has been called by the gods to serve, but chooses instead to serve the people through activism and direct action.

Quinn and I discuss using TTRPGs as a way to learn about other cultures and identities including your own, growing beyond others' expectations of you, and decolonizing TTRPG spaces.

This character is built for Scion 2e.

Quinn is a 41-year-old trans woman who is decolonizing their TTRPG tables one at a time. They are using TTRPGs to explore decolonization and respecting other cultures without cultural appropriation.

In the episode, we reference the protests against 'Cop City' in Atlanta. Since the interview was recorded a protestor, Manuel “Tortuguita” Terán was shot and killed by police and others have been charged with terrorism. I encourage you to read more about the protests: https://theintercept.com/2022/08/18/atlanta-cop-city-forest-abolition-environmentalism/

In lieu of sharing social media profiles, Quinn wanted to share more information about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. If you're in Texas, you can get involved with Texas Rematriate: https://www.instagram.com/mmiw_tx_rematriate
