New Dawn, episode 6 "Golden Dawn" is now LIVE!! Give it a listen and support indie Actual Play productions!!

Real people. Real voices. Really scary Delta Green RPG actual play!

Anyway, here is my opinion: Transphobes are trash and they are part of a fucking bully culture that harms people who have done nothing to deserve it. Don't care who they are or how they try to position it.

I am heartbroken. Rob was a brilliant multi-talented creator, respected and beloved by so many in and outside of the industry. This is a tremendous loss and one that'll be felt heavily for years. My heart goes out to his family and all that knew him. I hope to help honor his memory this week at GHC.

Back in 1988 when I began playing RPGs, I could never have imagined how it would grow into the global force it now is & that I would play some small part in it. An emphatic THANK YOU to the entire cast & crew for bringing dreams and stories to life on stage through D&D!! 🎲🫶🔥
