when you understand that patriarchy views children as sexual property it all makes sense. there's no hypocrisy. exposure to queerness & transness threatens to "corrupt" the father's property, to "lead them astray" into self-determination, to taint their future sexual value. CSA is permissible as >

Just a friendly reminder: if you see scalpers on eBay selling overpriced tickets to events you wanted to go to or collectible card packs, you CAN report them.

Scalping is not a good look for resell sites, so they are inclined to take them down using their ToS.

A black and white comic page numbered [01.] We open on a lone car travelling along a road lined with brush and evergreen trees. An unseen speaker, from inside the car: [Hey, how much money do exorcists make?] Cut to interior of the car. The speaker is the driver, a young woman with black hair with a dyed underlayer. She wears stud earrings and an over-sized sweater, an easygoing but mischievous smile on her face. Her companion slouches in the passenger seat, an androgynous teenager with shaggy dark hair and a t-shirt over a striped long-sleeve. They look out the window at the passing trees. Driver: [When your clients pay you, I want a cut for the gas money. (This place is far.)] A callout identifies the driver as [Stephanie Kwon: she/her, university student, 19.] The passenger turns from the window, looking at Stephanie with a disinterested expression. Passenger: [Nuna, it’s a charity. They don’t pay me.] Author’s Note: [Nuna: Korean for “older sister, used by younger males.] Stephanie: [HUH!? Why not?] Passenger: [Child labor laws.] A callout identifies the passenger as [Jordan Kwon: she/they (undercover as he/him), nonprofit exorcist, 14] Stephanie glances critically at Jordan through the rear view mirror. Stephanie: [Then why did we come all this way?] Jordan earnestly holds up a sheet of paper and points to it. Jordan: [Because it fulfills my community service requirement for student council.]

THE DEAD NAME 🪦 page 1/31

Born with supernatural sight and abilities, 14-year-old Jordan Kwon runs an exorcism charity to fulfill her community service requirements. On her latest mission, Jordan must confront something far scarier than the undead: coming out as trans.

Nemesis poses in a sort of faux poets shirt kinda thing. It has a large window where her chest is visible, and metal clasps down the front, it's big billowy sleeves are cut in such a way to expose the shoulders and inner arm. Nems hair pours down over her shoulders and brackets her whimsical, cryptic expression in orange flames. She is looking off to the right, distractedly, and has the dark remains of her makeup staining her eyes.

Metatopia 2025 Metatopia continues to be a brilliant convention for game designers who want to alpha- and beta- test their game designs with smart, capable people from the design and playtest community

Last weekend I was at Metatopia, a convention for game designers in New Jersey. It is brilliant (as always) and I’ve written up details about all the games I played - it’s a moderately long read, but I’m excited by upcoming games! Please take a read and share! planesailinggames.com/review/2025-...

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

Explorers Design Bespoke adventures, tools, and resources for tabletop rpg designers.

This is a new introduction thread for myself. I'm Clayton Notestine ("note-styne"). I'm a learner, reviewer, and design writer in tabletop rpgs. I make tools and resources.

This thread is my current list of favorite articles and projects on Explorers Design.

Graphic celebrating our strike ending. It reads: November 12, 2025 The Strike is Over! with a raised fist and the Kickstarter United logo in each corner

After 7 months of bargaining, and 42 days of striking Kickstarter United has voted to end the strike

Graphic with multiple picket signs that reads "[up arrow] Minimum Salary", "4 day Work Week", and a big cancel sign over "AI Replacing Jobs" and so much more. Go to kickstarterunited.org to see it all!

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

Enjoy a moment of reprieve from all of the everything else with this bundle of 39 solo tabletop rpgs.

Cool games! Cool designers! Different worlds to get lost in!

I talked other day about the #swoletariat— lefty / progressive lifters and martial artists.

Now would be a good time for martial arts gyms and communities to start food drives.

Not only will it help people + keep gyms open, but this would help interrupt right-wing takeover of fitness spaces.

This is focused on video game design as far as I can tell, but there's loads of good wisdom in there for us RPG designers too.

(Most notably, on like line two, "some things we play are *better* than others".)
