Hey there Bluesky!
Nice to meet you, I'm Kali! I'm a full time D&D DM, running 6 games a week.
I'm a trans woman in her 30's, and I write for Cloaks and Capes creating supplementary tabletop content.
I need TTRPG friends, so algorithm, do your thing. This is what I want.

My heart hurts for the lives this will ruin. It aches knowing that this is just the next step, and that we know where the road ends.
Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.
It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

Every last one of our 17k+ trans service members have more valor, honor, integrity, and courage in their discarded nail clippings than that draft-dodging, lying sack of shit has in his entire body.
Have your escape plans brothers and sisters, stay strong.

This saturday, I'm doing a fundraiser stream to raise money for a member of my community who got hit with unexpected medical bills.
We're playing Fallout: New Vegas from noon to midnight est at twitch.tv/eskalia
And since we already raised 25% of our goal, I'm gonna cosplay Vi! Dye is in!

So if federal funds can't be used in programs that acknowledge people who identify as transgender, this also means that trans people don't have to pay taxes? Right?
Only seems fair to me.

ABC White House correspondent just released ANOTHER anti-trans EO expected that we did not cover in our piece this morning:
A federal ban on funding to programs that acknowledge and affirm transgender people.

Hey fellow DMs, a quick word.
Your players need to feel like they can make a difference, especially now. Stories of people standing up for what's right matter more now than ever.
Celebrate heroism. Rejoice in love. Stand against evil. Combat tyranny.
It's not just escapism. It's hope.

Having one of those nights where I'm so excited for my D&D session today that I can't stay asleep.
I've sent my party into a faerie dungeon, where the laws of time and space only somewhat apply.
We left off with them showing up in a pit fight in Zaun. I wonder who they'll meet...

I love having my players roll for information, but there is no fail state.
You always get what your character would know, no matter what you roll. (I.E. what I need you to know for the story)
But for good rolls, I'll award you questions about the topic to reflect extra things you know. #TTRPG

#TTRPG DM/GM Advice: Popular advice is "don't gate essential info behind a skill check; failure will halt progress in your game"
Better advice: If you gate essential info behind a skill check, they still get it. The check is to avoid consequences for getting the info.

The villain is hot and I know you want to fix her, but it would be so much more delightful to let her show you how fun it is to be bad, don't you think?

In 2020, my wife and I got married in a small ceremony in my MIL's living room with just our parents and siblings present.
We wore our Ren Faire gear and the weather held out just long enough for us to do pictures at a local nature center.
These are some of my favorites!

For YEARS now, I have wanted a rough and tumble, trash talking, street brawler class in #D&D. But of course, most of the monk subclasses lean more into mysticism.
Well no more! I got to finally make my own for Cloaks and Capes!
