Space Rats by Gwen Marshall A Maze Rats hack... in Spaaaaace!

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!

That scene gives me chills every time

Also, Legend of the Overfiend at like 16... oops!

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?

SUCH a great film! So underrated. Maybe my favorite dystopia on film.

OK, last appeal. I am in SF recovering from gender affirming bottom surgery and I'd *REALLY* appreciate ANY help you can provide.

Even if you won't or can't give, please read my #story to get a sense of what even relatively privileged #transgender Americans have to endure to live authentically.

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.

As Some Dems Run From Trans People, Zohran Mamdani's Latest Ad Shows Real Support The 2 minute ad features Sylvia Rivera's story, Mamdani's commitment to transgender people, and even music from the legendary late trans artist SOPHIE.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 🥰

Surgery tomorrow! I’m scared!

Thirsty Queer Baristas by Gwen Marshall Be gay, drink coffee! a Thirsty Sword Lesbians hack

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

Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.

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.

I’m in SF now and already have spent SO much getting here and getting set up. So if you can chip in a bit, I would be grateful!!!!!!

The Right Wants to Exterminate Trans People. Liberals Are Helping. After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the conservative movement has accelerated its war against trans people. And too many centrist Democrats have kept up their trans bashing.

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...
