OK - what we're NOT going to do is start drama w/ folks who are still going to GenCon after investing a ton of money that they can't get back... less than 40 days before the event itself.
Not everyone has the privilege to declare they're throwing away hundreds. Check yourselves.
CW: transphobia, queerphobia
BEWARE, fellow TTRPGers.
Trinity Gaming Co is run by a queerphobic transphobe who openly supports Tr*mp on their company page.
….I’m so tired y’all. Don’t support companies like this ffs.
THIS APPLIES TO VENDORS TOO! Remember that most TTRPG companies don't have "fuck you" Hasbro money. 😒 jfc. do yall have ANY idea how much booths at GenCon cost? it's A LOT. thousands.
harassing unrelated small businesses for GenCon's fuckup is WILD to me.

I also want to remind yall that while Queer & Trans folx ARE marginalized, the yt & yt passing ones still have privileges over BIPOC folks, esp those who are not yt passing.
The LGBTQ+ TTRPG space needs to wake the fuck up to that.
An all-yt queer or trans cast is not diverse.
PLEASE remember to cast thicc & fat fems when you market for your “hot girl” Actual Play games. Yalls fatphobia is showing.
When I talk about diversity being important, body type is part of that.
istg if I see one more AP like this of all “thin” yt fems im gonna mcLose it 🙄
👋Hiii TTRPG Twitter <3
Looking to do panels at PAXU centered around Diverse Casting of APs, Worldbuilding for Homebrew, and other topics as well. If you are a creator who is attending and want in on this, lmk!
Like with any casting I do, I will prioritize BIPOC voices first.
If you refuse to use or are against safety tools in games, I don’t want to be at your table. And I sure af won’t have you at mine.
Y’all need help if you don’t want the people at your table to be comfortable or safe. Full stop. Not sorry. 😒
Pro tips for folx who want to contribute to diversity in TTRPG APs 🧵
👉players, don’t be afraid to ask who is being cast before agreeing
👉Express to showrunners the importance of diversity in casting
👉Don’t let yourself be cast in a game that has no or less than 50% BIPOC

✨AP CASTING CALL FOR BIMPOC TTRPGers!
Details:
⭐ When: Mondays @ 9:00 PM EST (6PM PST) - (TBD after April 2nd)
⭐ Duration: 10 eps or less
⭐ System: QuestRPG
⭐ Genre: wholesome high fantasy with space travel elements
⭐ Looking to fill 2-3 seats.
👇👇👇👇
Gentle reminder that it is NOT hard to implement safety & communication tools in your TTRPG games (whether home game or AP)
Lines & Veils is the BARE MINIMUM of safety tools!
In light of recent news, I feel obligated to remind yall that LC made (& continues to make) their career off the TTRPG space. 😒
yet we seem to have quickly forgotten how they spit in the faces of all the TTRPG creators who were invited to the WOTC summit last year. 🤔
🧵 Getting into TTRPG AP games, podcasts interviews, etc: a thread
👉 First, be present in the community, network! - If ppl can’t get a general vibe of who you are/how you work online, it’s hard to cast you.
Learned some lessons about some folks in the TTRPG space recently. Let's just say the list of "people I cannot and WILL not work with" continues to grow. I'm exhausted
I'm disappointed (in some cases disgusted) at how some choose to show their true selves behind the scenes - 1/2
Hey TTRPG AP creators-
This era of being so desperate to play or otherwise simply not caring who’s involved with the game needs to end now.
ASK👏 QUESTIONS👏
👉 Who is on the cast &
👉 how many BIPOC are there?
👉 If themed around a culture, is there a consultant involved? Etc
Hey. Do you like TTRPGs?
How about magical girls? Like, ✨Really tragic✨ magical girls?
What if they’re also queer?💅

Darkness Emergent Chicago was incredible! I’ve been a fan of VTM for years & never LARPed before. Truly grateful to have been in the NPC cast!
it was lovely to finally meet Jason Carl, B Dave, Laura, Tanya, & Cynthia Marie ✨
Thank you By Night Studios for having me 🖤🦇🩸🗡️
Anyway, does anyone have suggestions for a VTT (that is not Roll20) that also isn't SUPER DIFFICULT to set up?

Bro do you even watch critical role??? I doubt it.
Get out of here 😂 you’re just here to start beef with people because you’re very clearly pro-genocide.
GenCon was absolutely magical- why? Because of who was there!✨
I’m so happy to have seen so many friends and met so many amazing folx 🫶 I hope to see you all again soon 🥰
All I ever hope to get from folks is the honesty I hold myself to, even cynical as I am from past experiences I occasionally give the benefit of the doubt.
Turns out I maybe shouldn't, or to be even more discerning of others & watching for those manipulative behaviors. Sigh. 2/2

So.. Is there a master list somewhere of all the Actual Play TTRPG-related awards events? 👀
And if there isn't - please share the ones you know! I will make a list for the community! 😤
I Had an ✨incredible✨ time at GenCon GMing for Kobold Press & meeting SOO many of my friends IRL for the first time! I can’t even tag them all 💀
I’m feeling a renewed sense of love for the TTRPG space 🫶togetherness & fun is what it’s all about at the end of the day.
Coming October 2024, I present to you a new LIMITED series:

Mystery & Intrigue permeate the very fabric of the society of Orlais & here is where the story of 5 adventurers have their fates inextricably entwined.
Witness the Madness...
💥 GAME MASTER QUESTION OF THE DAY!💥
Do you use RULE OF COOL with your Players? 👀
If YES, does it go above & beyond the game rules if the idea is "cool" enough? If NO, why not?
aaand... discuss!💬
🌈friendly reminder: your ttrpg game doesn't have to be an actual play or a podcast to be great.
it's valid to have things that are just for you & your friends, a thread 🧵
As someone who was going to be part of the Trans/Enby BIPOC panel, Selkie deserves their flowers for putting so much work into this 💖
I was made very comfortable in this & I appreciated all of the foresight & thought put into the process itself!
YOU are Amazing!
Due to the Zionist stance that GenCon is taking I am cancelling all events I was going to host.
The panelists are absolutely amazing people and I may run a virtual event in the future but I will not give GenCon the free programming
Thank you all for understanding 🍉
I was told recently by a fellow creator that my TTRPG writing & game design methods/style evoke feelings of "childlike wonder".
you know what??? I'll take that. 💅✨
💯 with B. Dave here. the discourse over safety tools is nonsense.
Imagine NOT wanting the people you play games with to be safe, have their boundaries respected, or to have a good time knowing they have tools everyone opted into for advocating for their mental health 🙄
Of course this clown deleted the post.
If anyone EVER gives you a hard time about consent in *literally any context* RUN.
Also, I use this *exact* consent for for games I run all over the world. Take that metal bikini grognard nonsense back to 4Chan.
I want to thank everyone who has reached out to me for interviews, APs, oneshots, playtests, etc 🥹
From being on the GaryCon stream team, to joining MagiRPG, to GMing for Kobold Press at GenCon…
I’m so incredibly thankful for all the opportunities I’ve had in 2023! ❤️
all this ttrpg Discouse™️ just reminds me that you often never REALLY know someone in communities like this. Hell, regardless of community that's true.
I think too many of us know what it's like to be treated badly in this space, and no one really talks about it.
I am so sick of Hasbro/WOTC. There is no point to subscribing to DNDB now.
Master tier no longer gives you read access to most content AND you can no longer buy a la cart content (ie single subclass, etc). Just give us PDFs of what we bought and shut it down tbh. 🙄🙄🙄
I am officially booked for the remainder of this year on stream APs. open to booking convention/LARP appearances & interviews for the rest of 2024!🎉
💚Confirmed events:
Darkness Emergent
GenCon
💛Pending (but likely) events:
Big Bad Con
PAXU
Open to discuss 2025 APs also!
IMAGINE: mixing DND, Bridgerton X Hunger Games 👀
PLUS over 150+ of your favorite TTRPG creators in a massive homebrew setting complete with scandal, romance, & intrigue 😍
Well ✨it’s happening !! ✨ I am proud to announce that I am in Castleton!
SEE YOU IN MAY!🌸
There are SO many wonderful queer, trans & gender nonconforming BIPOC players/GMs out there who participate in the AP space.
If you want your games to be queer centric & diverse, you need only search or ask around to make that happen.
I am personally exhausted by seeing (current & former) friends in the space who continue to perpetuate this harmful environment by continuing to make AP content with all yt casts to cater to your clique.
DO FUCKING BETTER.
Got cute for Candela Week ✨ we are raising money for the Trevor Project during this game!! 🫶🌈
Come watch me play a spicy occultist having to work with her (messy) Ex ❤️🔥
LIVE NOW!👇
I'm glad they canceled it, however I don't think it's too much to ask to acknowledge the why or to make a statement as to the notion that MomoCon does not actually support appropriation or the casting choices made.
istg maybe I should start a consulting company at this rate???
💥GAME MASTER QUESTION OF THE DAY!💥
we're back babey 😎
Do you allow PCs to do "combo moves" together in combat? (i.e. attacking together in a cool way)
If so, under what circumstances? If not, why?

THIS. I am *exhausted* w/ seeing big names have only ⚪️ or majority ⚪️ casts.

I think a lot about how TTRPGs helped me recognize & eventually accept my identity as a genderfluid person.
Not just bc of playing the game but jumping into the minds of NPCs while DMing.
It has affirmed this part of my identity in a way I didn’t achieve as an illustrator.

@themandii
. If I ever get access back, great, but it’s been a week now. I’m just going to start over.
Many of whom were and are not “influencers” by definition and even abhor the term. The response to the above thread was very negative for obvious reasons.
Not to mention the backpedaling done by them in Tanya’s thread about it. ‘oh but not you, I like you’ 🙄
👇
@lincodega
You lit the flame, so don’t be surprised by the heat. “You’re all clout chasers, it’s your job”
Except it isn’t. Invitees don’t go picking fights or bait people to raise our profile. Folks hate that behavior.
Words mean things. Example A ⤵️
I am really hoping to do more AP miniseries/oneshots/etc in the future.
I will always prioritize diverse casting in my games 💖
so if the latest AP casting call does not work with your schedule, please stay tuned! 😄
👉BE SELECTIVE! Remember that no single casting will make or break you. They need you more than you need them. No cast = no show.
👉speak up! Post on social media that you’re looking to participate in diverse shows.
No, I will not call out the specific project nor ask people to do anything other than consider WHO they’re throwing money at and not go into it blind. That’s all. Nothing more, nothing less.
Get your bag, I guess, but the “hypocrisy” stench is a bit strong for me.
I will not support anything LC does even if it involves creators I enjoy.
Their involvement with Lin doesn’t make me feel super great, either, but that’s a topic for another day.
Have we forgotten already about the statements that have come out about the "CEO" of Magic Academy?
MagicShibe showed throughout the Obojima controversy & beyond that he has learned nothing about DEI. This is not a safe person to work with.
Don't let yourself become his token.
honestly lemme sweeten the deal further.
Sapphic time traveling romance. jumping timelines to get the girl.
standing against impossible odds of inevitable(?) doom.
trauma. so. much. trauma.
