That's the most important thing for us atm 😊🖤 www.dungeon-world.com/dw2-alpha-re...

I've been recovering from bottom surgery and making little OSR games to pass the time. I've made 7 or 8 so far, I think -- hacks of Thirsty Sword Lesbians, Into the Odd, etc. Today's is original, and made entirely of words of one syllable. drgwenmarshall.itch.io/the-cursed #trans #osr #ttrpg

My nieces and nephews could not comprehend how I could draw, how I was drawing something right in front of them. This sucks.

Five weeks post-surgery and I continue to improve, slowly but surely. I still have a long way to go, but I’m optimistic. #trans #selfie

I love to see stuff like this because it helps explain to people trapped in tech-sponsored information bubbles the actually obvious fact that universities teach people to know & think things, and AI is a way to produce the effect of knowing & thinking things w/o actually knowing & thinking them.

Released 44 years ago "Nazi Punks Fuck Off", the fifth and most important single by the Dead Kennedys Dead Kennedys - Nazi Punks Fuck Off (In Studio) #punk #punks #punkrock #DeadKennedys #nazipunksfuckoff #history #punkrockhistory

Great Scott! Rocky Horror Show: Bride of Rocky Horror is live on @kickstarter.com! Don’t dream it. Back it! Now’s your chance to support @magsvisaggio.com and Noemi Vettori's officially licensed graphic novel and other great exclusives! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bit...

I released another title! This is a #Shadowdark conversion of a D&D #adventure I wrote, now on @itch.io . Great cover art by @jamesdenton.bsky.social , & maps by the awesome @alidasaxon.bsky.social . Check it out out! #TTRPG #trans drgwenmarshall.itch.io/the-shape-of...

I’ve made about 5 little games on @itch.io this month as I recover from surgery. Most recently: Space Rats is a hack of Ben MIlton’s Maze Rats. Maze Rats is all about fantasy dungeon delving. Space Rats is Maze Rats…In Spaaaaace! #osr #mazerats #benmilton #itch drgwenmarshall.itch.io/space-rats

The Thing! At like age 9! Also saw all the original Universal Studios monster films (Frankenstein, Dracula, Mummy, etc) at like ages 6-7. Hellraiser at like 14?

On year ago today, the tabletop roleplaying game industry lost one of its most influential designers and illustrators, not to mention the most senior and prominent transgender professional in the field. Her work continues to resonate with me to this day.

1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups. The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I'd be lucky to have just one of these talented folks on the Twelve Realms team, but having all 12 is a dream come true! TT: www.tiktok.com/@adammakestt... YT: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyxl... Follow the KS: www.kickstarter.com/projects/gno... #ttrpg #fantasy #TwelveRealms #TwelveRealmsRPG

Couldn’t say it better myself.

Any trans person who begins their transition today is exhibiting more courage than most people will in their entire lives.

Proof of life, one week after surgery. Still painful to switch positions, but I’m slowly feeling less pain. Fortunately I have my love taking care of me, as well as a wonderful support network here in SF, online, and back home. Thanks for all your support, friends! #trans

Oops I did it again! I made another #queer #TTRPG ! This is Lances and Lesbians, a #caltropcore game of questing to stop the spread of the Corruption, using #sapphic love! This is my third game for my Game A Day challenge in October! drgwenmarshall.itch.io/lances-and-l... #ttrpgs #trans

Look at this team of absolute deities I get to be a part of! Looking forward to working with them all on this project!!

1st: This is outstanding. So cute! 2nd: The Chemist playbook is... too close for comfort. 😁

I had bottom surgery on Monday. To help distract myself from the pain, I've written two short games. They are both text-only at the moment, with a public domain image on the cover. They are free (or PWYW) on my Itch page currently. I discuss them both below. drgwenmarshall.itch.io #ttrpg #trans

My friend and wonderful human being is getting royally screwed by YouTube/Google. They took down his channel for NO reason, citing spam policies?‽ He talks about ttrpgs. He doesn’t spam or scam!! So if you are at YouTube, or know who is, can you please look into fixing this? Thank you.

I am out of surgery and doing well! Thanks for the support so many of you have given. It’s been lifesaving. Especially my partner, Dave 🥰 #trans

While waiting for my surgery, I made a text-only game for a Minimalist Game Jam. It's a hack of Thirsty Sword Lesbians called Thirsty Queer Baristas. Be gay, drink coffee! #ttrpg #trans Thanks @gayspaceship.bsky.social ane @evilhat.bsky.social ! drgwenmarshall.itch.io/thirsty-quee...

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

Wrote for @thenation.com about the complicity of some liberal politicians and pundits in the conservative campaign to exterminate trans people www.thenation.com/article/poli...

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, the far-right, led by the Trump administration, has doubled its efforts to crackdown on transgender people. My latest article in The Guardian. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Transgender Americans are seeing a wave of hate unleashed by Charlie Kirk’s killing | Erin Reed

Hey. Please read this important piece from @erininthemorning.com in @theguardian.com . It’s really bad for #trans folks like me in the US right now. I don’t think most folks realize just how bad. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Fuck it, we ball. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-readie...

Do this to voice your outrage at Disney's unjust cancellation of Kimmel and other people's shows for simply practicing their free speech, ASAP.

Stopped in to get a cold brew at Dark Matter Coffee in Chicago only to find they have a collab roast with the band Samiam?! The beans celebrate their great album, Astray. Unexpected but very cool! So naturally I had to buy a bag. #darkmatter #coffee #samiam #chicago

Just a reminder that @drgwenmarshall.bsky.social is raising funds to help cover ancillary expenses for her gender-affirming surgery. She's raised more than half of her goal. Share if you can?

I’m thinking of making a log/record of my experience going through my gender-affirming surgery. What platform do folks think would be best? I have a Medium with some essays on trans history, but no other “blog”. But I seem to recall people think Medium is problematic? Thoughts?

I keep finding myself having to explain this, so I’ll post it on main: When a public harm against marginalized people occurs, only the members of that marginalized people get to decide if the apology is sufficient, not cis het white men. #trans 1 of 3

We know that Kirk killer is a cis het white male from a far right group (Fuentes' Groypers) that thinks Kirk wasn't extreme enough. Folks will drop the claims that a trans person did it, right? ... From last night: (I know NYP is trash, but it has the 3rd biggest newspaper circulation in the USA)

Yuuuuup. Also, I don't give a shit if some of the worst people in the world think I am being performative or am virtue signaling. Fuck 'em. They don't get to tell me how to be. Anyway, trans rights are human rights, y'all. It's not complicated.

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

I wish more cis men in particular understood this. Simply seeing a cis man stand up to support me literally brings tears to my eyes. That’s how rare it is.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

US government orders 46 states to destroy trans education materials https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/08/27/trans-education-us-state-directive/?utm_content=1756312804&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky

Sharing with ALT text for those who aren't aware of the ongoing real world implications for trans people in the U.S. "I'm afraid I could be arrested if I travel to that state..."

Finally found some down time to do a little mini painting. Just beginning my breggle bard Maybel, with this mini from HedgeCrafts on Etsy for my weekly Dolmenwood game (the awesome book from Gavin Norman and Necrotic Gnome for Old School Essentials). #minis #dolmenwood #ose #ttrpg

Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader? I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.

Felt cute, might turn some men to stone later #selfie #Medusa #trans

It is hellishly hot outside, so I’ll be devilish indoors today thanks

I'm playing *Going for Broke* this evening, session two! I love this game so much. Here's session one if folks wanna see. Designed by probably my favorite #TTRPG designer, Avery Alder @lackingceremony.bsky.social youtu.be/tUuiY4EmOMU
