Chris Strausman, Socially Isolated Streamer - Growing Up and Showing Up with Blerdy Disposition (Call of Cthulhu)
Manage episode 439951182 series 3375245
Blerdy Disposition brings Chris Strausman to the table. Chris is a Twitch streamer with a lot of growing up to do, searching Reddit and relying on his followers to find his missing sister.
Blerdy and I compare Lovecraftian horrors to YouTube comments, discuss the importance of being there for your community, both in and out of character, and talk about growing up in a landscape of social isolation and internet-only friendships.
This character is built for Call of Cthulhu 7e.
Blerdy Disposition is a Black, Queer Professional GM and Player. He makes TTRPG YouTube content, focused on covering either indie RPGs or player and GM advice. When he is not obsessing over Cthulhu mythos or niche RPGs, you can find him talking about his next favorite RPG of the month.

Baddie Bards is an all-Black, all-queer, all-trans D&D actual play. Living up to the bardic reputation, there’s plenty of laughs, all set in space. But you’ll also hear poetic descriptions and atmospheric background music. I’m looking forward to their next season, using the DIE system.
Girls Run These Worlds is a women-owned, women-run production studio aiming to uplift the voices, profiles, and status of women and femme-presenting people in TTRPG and to create a place where all can come to find themselves represented and celebrated.
