RPG GM, writer, parent. Fair warning I am left wing, pro-LGBTIQA+, anti-hate/fascism/racism etc. Oh, and pretty anti-capitalist too.

01.05.2025 04:22 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Just goes to show that some things are just talk.
30.04.2025 13:54 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I donโt talk about my work here much, but up until today, I loved what I do.
Then our CFO treated me with utter disdain and was dismissive of my concerns. And that has deeply eroded my love of my work.
It will take time to rebuild that trust.
What a prick

19.04.2025 05:00 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Scotland has some devolved powers, they tried to be more progressive about gender. Westminster shut that down hard. Then that cow JK started funding this whole high court decision thing. Simplified version

19.04.2025 04:50 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Gotta say, all this anti-trans rhetoric sure seems focused on trans women and not the men.
*taps chin*
Almost seems like itโs just sparkling misogyny.
It is an embarrassing time to be in the U.K. and all this because Scotland was trying to do something about it.

16.04.2025 20:38 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Reducing the definition of a woman to biological sex just seems to be reductive. Itโs a huge step back for feminism and womenโs rights.

Itโs a shame, the early Gen X run was really good.

08.04.2025 21:12 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0So, I have an idea for an RPG setting/game. Do I create a bespoke system for it (more work, but will reinforce the themes/tropes of the game)?
Or do I use an existing system and hack it and stretch the setting over the top (less work, but not as good)?
Ugh. It took me a while to realise why my eyes itch and my nose is blocked. Itโs f**ken Spring.

04.04.2025 09:39 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0And crowdfunding is only a bandaid solution. Itโs not a long term or sustainable way to run a successful business
04.04.2025 09:37 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Thing is, it is not a sophisticated industry. Itโs basically packaging and publishing - on the business side, and that means the margins are already tight and economy of scale is hard.
