Harpies: Tools of the Furies - Undercommon Taste Episode 112

CW: There is a brief mention of suicide and self-harm, in the context of discussing the harpies as described in Dante's Inferno. This happens at about the 8 minute mark, and lasts for about 20 seconds.

 

This week, we're talking about the human-bird hybrid creature from Greek mythology - the harpy! Join us as we discuss their description from mythology, how they've been presented in TTRPGs, and how to use them in new and interesting ways in your own home games.

We also mentioned again the Solo But Not Alone 3 bundle on Itch, which is a solo game fundraiser bundle supporting Jasper's Game Day, a gaming suicide prevention charity. The bundle runs until the end of March, and you can find the bundle, which has a whopping 149 games for $10, here: https://itch.io/b/1692/solo-but-not-alone-3

If you're having suicidal thoughts and need to talk to someone, you can reach out to the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by dialing <988>, or by visiting https://988lifeline.org. The world is better because you're in it; we'd rather spend an hour talking you out of your darkest place than spend the next 40 years without you.
