We kick things off by talking about Hades. Lexi has put in a lot of hours with that game and you&#8217;ll find out how many hours they&#8217;ve got, plus their favorite weapons for dear ol Zagreus. Plus, we discuss Hades 2 and the different mechanics and gameplay from Hades. Lexi also talks about a game category that we have determined to call Catharsis Games. No, they&#8217;re not the cozy games you&#8217;re used to hearing about. Lexi talks about what games are in her catharsis game category and what draws them to those particular games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, we&#8217;re venturing back into Tabletop Roleplaying Games. In Lexi&#8217;s first episode, this was a topic we had talked about. Now here we are with even more to say. Lexi talks about the multiple Dungeons and Dragons games they play and\/or DM in, along with other TTRPG&#8217;s like Pathfinder, Coyote and Crow, and more. We discuss the gameplay at the table versus online, the storylines that have been created, and the TTRPG systems they&#8217;d love to try in the future (here&#8217;s looking at you, Blades in the Dark!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We then come full circle with more Cosplay. Lexi talks about the past 5 years and what they&#8217;ve been doing in that space, and getting back into building\/crafting some cosplay pieces for competition this year. We talk about what they&#8217;re working on and even more ideas for the future. We also talk about Cosplay Judging, as Lexi has judged for several competitions. We talk about what it&#8217;s like having seams looked at, techniques being judged, and how to be a good competitor (in skill and respect for others) in cosplay competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find Lexi at:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lexichuchu\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lexichuchu\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can listen to Lexi&#8217;s first episode here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-libsyn wp-block-embed-libsyn\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"embedly-card\" data-card-controls=\"1\" data-card-align=\"center\" data-card-theme=\"light\"><h4><a href=\"https:\/\/talesfromthefandom.libsyn.com\/episode-194-lexichu-cosplay-talks-mmorpgs-book-recommendations-ttrpgs-and-cosplay\">Episode 194: LexiChu Cosplay talks MMORPG&#8217;s, Book recommendations, TTRPG&#8217;s and Cosplay<\/a><\/h4><p>Lexi aka LexiChu Cosplay joins me to talk a variety of fandoms in a nearly 90 minute episode!
