watched the first episode of desiquest tonight. the pure delight of watching an entirely south asian cast, in a south asian inspired world, telling a story of people that i can see so clearly in my mind's eye, it's incredible. truly the joy of representation. all the casual references, the incorporation of language, even the conversation style.
all of the characters hit immediately. ashwathama, as diaspora coming back to the homeland, with an anglicized nickname, technically competent but so bumbling anyway. every interaction murkha has is hilarious, especially with baccha. laddoo auntie has this lived-in quality, this fully formed sense of her life and how she's lived it. also everything rekha says is comedy gold. and sitara. the moment she disappeared into the teakettle? i audibly gasped. she has such good character hooks, and her interactions with laddoo auntie? perfection.
anyway i'm deeply enjoying this both as a fan of actual plays and just as a desi really feeling the joy of seeing an all-desi cast.

Finally got a moment to watch episode one of DesiQuest and I loved it! I contributed to the Kickstarter because when I first heard about it I was all: "YES! I want to see a south Asian inspired D&D campaign!" I made some scribbles of the characters as I watched. I love them all, but I gotta say Laddoo Auntie is my favorite. Really looking forward to seeing where this campaign goes!

OH HELL YEAH Image text: I gave in. It’s happeninnnnnng…!
Now that I’m finally sitting on the other side of the screen, I think my DM style is going to be D&D Oprah - “and YOU get inspiration! And YOU get inspiration! EVERYBODY GETS INSPIRATIONNNNNNNN!”
(P.S. Thanks to @dndwizards for this gorgeous DM screen that has been staring at me in my office for YEARS now begging to be used and is finally getting its day in the sun.)

yooooooo I finally started watching DesiQuest & it’s SO good y’all the star power (incredible!), the humour (outstanding!), the SETTING (fantastic!). i started last night & binged the first two episodes & i can’t recommend it enough if u like d20 or CR u rly should give it a shot!!!!! the set up is Gorgeous?? & i was gonna talk abt one of my favourite things not related to the actual story but there’s actually quite a few things i rly love abt it like jasmine bhullar is a phenomenal dm so i was already stoked to start it BUT she’s added in these rly cool scenery things like a private space that serves as a one on one room that she can take players to talk to them but it expands the WORLD at the same time i don’t wanna spoil it but i thought it was SO good. & also as they all tell their story they’ll use Indian (Hindi? at least some are Hindi im not sure if all of them are) words & a little dictionary entry pops up at the bottom !! which is so inclusive & welcoming & informative & fun & im loving it so much y’all. there’s….8? episodes out so far & they’re about 2 hours long each so it’s very doable to catch up !!!!!!

"Desi (/ˈdāsē/) noun: a word used to describe the people, cultures, and products of the Indian subcontinent and their diaspora, derived from Sanskrit देश (deśá), meaning "land, country".
"DesiQuest (/ˈdāsē kwest/) noun: an epic, culturally authentic Dungeons & Dragons actual-play show with an all Desi cast, game mastered by Jasmine Bhullar, that’ll Fire Bolt your brain and Thunderclap your heart.
"It's incredibly rare out here in the US, to create a production that has all Desi cast. We're usually competing with each other for the one guest spot on shows with a similar format. So, whether you are Desi yourself or not, whether you're an experienced player or new to D&D, if you want to see more highly skilled and highly engaging BROWN faces on screen, weaving epic tales inspired by mythology and lore from the Indian sub-continent, then we need YOUR support to make it happen." ~ Kickstarter Description
