I need this to work out for Fabs. No one deserves to feel the sort of fear and anxiety the loss of income and housing bring, least of all our Fabian.

@badhouserpg.bsky.social has a few more streams and surprises coming up as March approaches but there’s still a little ways to go 💜💜

March is halfway here. We're hoping to get at least half by the target date to at least get me started with shelter. With no place to stay I cannot work and with no work I'm dead in the water. Please help however you can.

STRAIGHT CHEESIN BC I AM HOLDING MY COVER ART ON A BOOK AAAAAAAAAAA

I am SO proud of this team and this book !!! I attached my artist statement for this cover; so much heart went into this and I hope y’all like it as much as I do!!

@huntersent.bsky.social
Jae holding Kids in Capes with their art on it It was very important to me to portray a fat queer kid on the cover because I don't see very many RPGs with that kind of representation anywhere-and for a game grounded in reality, centered around characters who are (typically) aged 10/12-16/18; kids who look like the one on the cover are typically outcasts (and/or are bullied by their peers). My hope is that ALL kinds of kids and teenagers (and adults of course) see a cover like this and feel affirmed that ANYONE can be a hero, no matter what you look like. The narrative of Kids in Capes of 'finding your own identity while growing up and dealing with all the usual trials and tribulations of being a teenager (further pushed by adding superpow-ers) stands out to me as a queer trans person of color. After all, what are superpowers-Some-thing that a lot of kid-heroes may need to hide from others, feeling alone and disconnected from peers due to something unchangeable about themselves (a feeling I really wanted to evoke with this kid sitting alone on a roof, looking up at a brilliant sky of possibility, of the future, of hope), grappling with a bunch of adults who could never understand, or even fear, their new abilities-What are superpowers but an allegory for Queerness in a world where being straight lie power-less) is the norm? This cover art means a lot to me and I hope you like it as much as I do.

Including disabled people in our utopian futures pushes back against a eugenicist ideal.

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."

That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

It has been said before. I will say it again.

The way this TTRPG “community” treats Black women, femmes & NBs is a fucking disgrace.

What do we have to do to prove our pain is real? How much blood to we have to publicly spill?

It’s a miracle some of us are still standing.

So proud to portray Emeryn one more time for this. I truly don’t remember much from the recording season; I feel like I blacked out as Emeryn took over and came to at the end with silent tears running down my face.

GM's first promo graphic in three years. I am struggling without Sea. Flailing. Please come to our lovely Valentine's Day community stream on Saturday. We will discuss gay things, and also TTRPGs
Two illustrated characters stand against a colorful pink background, positioned so that their heads are tilted toward each other. On the left is a smirking Lucy from The Chaos Protocol, a person with dark purple-red skin and shoulder-length wavy black hair. Two horns protrude from her forehead and are decorated with golden jewelry. Ta wears a three-piece black and gold suit with a white collared shirt. They have black scleras and crimson irises. On the right is Artemis from The Chaos Protocol, a butch Greek person with tanned skin, a shaved head with a dark brown laurel tattoo above their ear, and a serious expression. They have bright golden eyes and wear a brass gorget, sleeveless leather shirt, and a brass bracer over their left arm as well as a translucent shawl tossed over their left shoulder to form a half-cape. Various hearts, heart-eyed emojis, and lovey-dovey emotes are positioned around Lucy and Artemis. White text reads, in Comic Sans and Papyrus, "Valentine's Day Community Stream. sat 2/14 8pm @ twitch & youtube. connie is running and producing the stream for the first time in ages so you have to come and be NICE. graphic design is my passion"
