Language and Monsters in the real world and D&D - S01E07

Dr. Sean Roberts (Linguist) and Dr. Tim Knowleton (Anthropologist) talk language, tropes, and monsters. How can tropes be immersive, and how can you use language (and accents) for rich world-building, and we ask the question 'when is a monster not a monster?'. Also, when should you blink. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.
