Game Mechanics - A Critical Tabletop Podcast

In this episode we talk about Zak S, the abuse and harrassment he's done in the past, and the statements by his two ex partners whose incredible courage began the current pushback of this abuser.

We give context for who he is and what he's done, the Mark Diaz Truman "Two Minute Hate" piece and its context today, and other people who have covered up or lied about what they knew about Zak S.

If you need a timeline of events and a collection of information presented in the least overwhelming way possible, I hope this helps.
