Representation at a bare minimum in RPGs?

Representation at a bare minimum in RPGs is something a friend asked me about a few days ago. Someone wanted to do this, so I recorded this reply.

Whether you are writing an adventure or a fully fledged roleplaying game, having #inclusivity and #diversity is something you have to think about from the start. Deciding to include it later on in the process has some implications that don’t bode well for the game.

And having inclusivity will also draw criticism from those people who do not want to share their space and privilege with people who’ve been either absent or invisible until recently.

And what happens if you want to have inclusivity in the art at a bare minimum? Would that be OK in a D&D, Call of Cthulhu, CoC, Vampire: The Mascarade, an osr or pbta game?

In this video I talk about that.
