Unfortunately trans day of visibility finds me on a day when I feel my most overworked and strained and stuck and invisible, my least creative and free and seen and honest. And yet, I'm transgender. Which is something worth being!

Trans Day of Visibility is also the day I started HRT. Today marks two years for me of making the choice that would visibly change my body forever. I am excited to announce my first Trans Lifeline fundraiser Day 1: Girls Night Cube Day 2: Commander Double Header Prizes for donations during stream!

I am so unbelievably excited for Seven-Part Pact, and each of these articles just makes me even more excited. It seems to me that this game is going to be truly innovative, and I just can't wait to see how it all comes together!

my third article in my ongoing series about the development of seven-part pact is now available! in this article i go into detail about companions, how each wizard is accompanied by four people who ground them and perform labor to make their magic work possumcreek.medium.com/seven-part-p...

I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you

mr giancola!!??!!!!

This thread popped up in my FB memories because I loved it so much I took a screenshot of the whole thing to remind myself that no really I have the agency to rebel against myself and if I hadn't spent an hour sick this morning I'd probably be alone on a boardwalk off-season

I'm on levels of problematic trans you simply cannot imagine. I'm raising my bigender AFAB catboy daughter with eight moms to invent new slurs that not even I can say. she has more chosen names than rotations around the sun. his favorite band is 100 gecs

haters are one of Chicago’s most vital exports. they don’t grow them like that anywhere else. if you have been hated by someone from Chicago you never forget it. Leo talks like a guy who has to call up his confessor twice a day to yell about some new Truth Social post that’s making him see knives

ideas are cheap

🐈 New comic: You Have Cats?🐈

love genz slop. oh you’re wearing booty shorts that say depression on back? you’ve got a hat that just says “cigarette” on it?? hell yeah man literally who gives a fuck

Walking thru the “Ultra Normie” No Kings rally in my extremely rural, white town and there are Patagonia wearing moms carrying signs that say “DEAD PEDOPHILES DONT REOFFEND” and “ICE GETS THE WALL” and I hi fived an old guy with a sign that said MY DADDY FOUGHT NAZIS AND SO WILL I” this is wild

some of my favorite people !!!!!

NEW: An AI-generated LEGO movie out of Iran depicting Trump as a war hungry pedophile has gone viral online and in the US. It's one of many. Meanwhile, Trump's AI slop isn't resonating with anyone but his own base. And yes, to be clear, this just speaks to how bad things are.

Send help, my Band-Aids & Bullet Holes design diaries are rapidly approaching a longer length than the game itself.

MY GAME #MYGAME

"DnD is a gateway drug" carries with it the less-than-subtle implication that there are other TTRPGs that are harder, more addictive, and less accessible.

I'm not judging anyone one way or another, but as someone who wouldn't have even remembered that the damn show was being made if it weren't for people talking about it on Bluesky, perhaps the best way to starve transphobes is to dare to only lift up trans authors who actually make dope art instead.

Yeah the average person 100% thinks the backlash to Rowling is overblown and that she has just made one or two bad comments, oblivious to her absolutely deranged Twitter feed. Transphobia is her full-time job at this point.

hello gamers I have a new blogpost up, a review of a massive $4m Kickstarter third-party 5e adventure based on an AP, called THE CROOKED MOON. it's a big old honkin review, talking about info design and 5e creative direction and folk horror. I hope you enjoy! samsorensen.blot.im/review-the-c...

Buy this game!

had a conversation the other day with another queer writer about submission strategy, thought i would share. writer had submitted to a number of explicitly queer venues and got rejected. their feeling was that, if the queer venues said no, there was no reason to bother with the mainstream venues.

How do you turn a vast text game like Fallen London into a TTRPG? We've spent a year working with @magpiegames.bsky.social to do exactly that. In May, backers will get the first look at the full PDF of the game (and you can still back, actually). What have we learned?

History will not, and should not, be kind to us.

@senfoonglim.bsky.social and I are conducting lots of interviews for a new RPG-focused podcast launching soon. Today we talked to @newmadras.bsky.social and it was truly a delight: Thomas is extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, funny, wise, and smart. So I'll take this opportunity... 1/

I’m very sorry, but if you think it’s “rare” to play a ttrpg by and for queer women, you have simply not looked at the hobby for more than eight seconds

YIP YIP

Shit is getting real

if you aren't paying attention to party of one, you really ought to be — jeff has been setting up an absolutely stacked lineup of guests this season and this announcement is only scratching the surface

If someone hasn’t said this already (let’s be honest: it’s probably been said a zillion times), call it Friedman’s Law: “Any fan base of sufficient size will inevitably include assholes”

thank goodness MY blog post is going to be the truth that pierces

There's a week to go on the Kickstarter for Play Unsafe, my book about how to play TTRPGs. This is a really good time to give it a boost, so please repost this, talk about it in your own channels, etc etc. Thanks so much. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gra... #kickstarter #ttrpg

the second article in my series on Seven Part Pact is now available, chronicling the seven wizards and giving an in-depth look into how character creation occurs possumcreek.medium.com/seven-part-p...

look, things suck, everybody is allowed to feel hopeless once in a while, but I do think you have some responsibility to limit the contagion caused by offgas from your personal slough of despond
