Epic Fantasist. It me.
pinned post!
Hello all you new friends! I write, I read, I enthuse about various TTRPGS, and I'm part of the British Fantasy Society. My signature karaoke song is the Cutting Crew's I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight. My cat has 3 legs and a hard stare. I'm older than I look.

We are community or we are less. We are engines of kindness and connectivity or we are less. When decency is framed as a radical position we must remain who we are. Our resistance is also in refusing to be less openhearted and filled with compassion.

If you donât need convincing that women can fight, this collection is for you. And if you do need some persuasion, this collection is also for you â though you might end up a little more paranoid than before, as not all fights are direct confrontations or fairly fought.
