Trans TTRPG designers, especially if ur bi-poc, I wanna collaborate on a project I'm crowdfunding this Fall.
Caged in a Flesh Mech is my coming out magnum opus as a baby queer & genderfluid person. I want the whole team to be diversely queer.

Very happy with the look and feel of this thing. We're leaning hard into that folky, esoteric weirdness. Ragged edges, decorative details, simple and worn. Hand-carved, splintered, dark. Full of spells, secrets, and age-old danger.
Also, making shit pretty isn't exactly difficult with Tania's art.
