I've posted my final thoughts on Sovereign, the sequel to @aprildaniels.bsky.social's Dreadnought. The story has less to say about being trans than the first book did, but it's an excellent cape novel about teen girl living with trauma while trying to survive. www.tumblr.com/avalynramsay...

People should commission me for ttrpg stuff

Finished reading Dreadnought by @aprildaniels.bsky.social and posted my thoughts. The pitch is that a closeted trans girl inherits the powers of NotSuperman as he lays dying and it instantly transitions her. Neither the power nor the transition solve her problems. www.tumblr.com/avalynramsay...

cis women transphobes are as embarassing as they are revolting because they will declare with their whole chest “I am less capable than a man and I demand you treat me accordingly by lowering your expectations!” girl shut the fuck up there’s no gender advantage in CHESS

Shout-out to trans women. I love you trans women🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

I'm opening up commissions to earn some extra money. If you're a ttrpg designer or other creative interested in my services, reach out via bsky or [email protected] and we can work out the details! Some example designs in the thread #ttrpg

A lot of transphobic discourse boils down to “should it be illegal for women to be conventionally unattractive“ tbh.

The look for going to my brother's for a family Easter dinner. #selfie #transselfie #transwoman

New Patreon post about Time Passes, what I'm most excited about in it, and its future development! www.patreon.com/posts/time-p...

Time Passes V0.1 is now live! Time Passes is a TTRPG about fantasy Heroes dealing with a Nightmare so overwhelming that it will take generations to defeat. This is a game of grief at the absence of comrades and the need to move forward in spite of it. austin-ramsay.itch.io/time-passes

Did you know that water elementals are polyglots? They're fluid in every language!

REALIS, the science fantasy TTRPG I’ve been working on for the last five years, is now live on Kickstarter! 55 Player Classes 150+ NPC Classes 29 Factions 20 Example Moons of Realis GMing and Prep Guidance Over 100 incredible illustrations from 17 artists! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru...

A hidden fact about Time Passes' rules: it's a stealth GMless game! It can be played with or without a GM since the responsibility for obstacles is put in the hands of the players!

Heroes will go on Adventures together to weaken the Pillars that support the Nightmare. When they've spent too many resources and can't Adventure any further, they can let Time Pass. 10-20 years pass and all non-Immortal Heroes get closer to aging out of heroics. Be prepared to play multiple Heroes!

This TTRPG is inspired by: -The Forged In The Dark game engine -Frieren: Beyond Journey's End - Galactic 2E -The music video for Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt -Mothership -The End Is Always Near by Dan Carlin

I have finished reading Fake It Til You Make It and shared my thoughts. Holly attends a private boys' school because she's transitioning in secret and is on DIY HRT. Can she make it to graduation before she gets found out or will her body's changes out her? www.tumblr.com/avalynramsay...

Have you painted up any pride mechs of your own? Drop them in the comments if you have, we’d love to see them <3

As Transgender day of Visibility dawns here in Australia, I'm getting in early to remind you all that from the core to the periphery, trans rights are human rights, and we'll keep fighting for our trans siblings in Battletech, and in the world at large. youtu.be/xGJUrgYjs8Y

Realis—the debut TTRPG by @austinwalker.bsky.social—arrives this Wednesday, April 1 (no foolin') in a Kickstarter campaign that will run til the end of the month!

I quit my day job two weeks ago with nothing to take its place. ✨SO CONSIDER COMMISSIONING ME TO DRAW WHATEVER YOUD LIKE TO SEE!✨ OCs, people, fursonas, book covers, tshirt designs! Email me and I can get art in YOUR HANDS

I hope y'all like google sheets with lots of bells and whistles because I went nuts when Avalyn asked me to put some together for Time Passes.

“Rowling has made it abundantly clear that she thinks attacking transgender people via the legal system is a worthwhile cause and a good use of her vast personal fortune…there’s no way to watch this show without supporting Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting…”

Ah, the life of a TTRPG designer.

Last day of PAX East so get your Beam Saber copy while you can!

@attie.ai, for those who wanna press the funny buttons too

we've got satirical ̶c̶o̶d̶e̶x̶ ̶e̶n̶t̶r̶i̶e̶s̶ ̶lore, we've got swappable utility gear, we've got evil factions you're working for, we've got it all

enjoying #Marathon? then you might like PLANET FIST, my satirical scifi skirmish storytelling TTRPG 🎲 about nanoclone soldiers who can get blown to bits mid-combat & reprinted next round! infinite respawns, sidegrade weapon swapping, scifi black comedy & more! 🔗: jumpgategames.itch.io/planetfist

I've been running this for about a dozen sessions now and I love it. The game really lends itself to building drama over time. The "rival" NPC element is so well thought out and really adds JUICE to the narrative. I recommend this to EVERYONE I speak to.

The look for a fun day of axe throwing, drinking, and damn good company! (Though I wish I had worn something more overtly femme if I'm honest) #selfie #transselfie #transwoman

Since the rules for Time Passes, my Frieren inspired fantasy game, will be out soon (hopefully), I have decided to answer any questions you all have but I retain the prerogative to be coy.

My favorite thing about all these narratives is "Yeah but see trans athletes fucking suck, so it's not a problem" which then becomes "we can worry about this when they get good" No dude it's a problem because it's flat out anti-science gender-based discrimination. Done. Mic drop.

Get ready to run!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/117...
