hihi! I'm Hamnah (any/all) and I am a TTRPG Actual Play producer & performer! I'd love to share GUDIYA, a show made by a majority-trans team that tackles, in part, rigid gendered expectations. It's a dark, earnest, and intimate piece of work that I am immensely proud of.

For your consideration:

My BattleTech novella "A Night In The Woods" would qualify as it was published in December, 2025.

If you would mind taking a moment and nominating it, I'd be grateful. (I'm really pleased and proud of that one.)

If you didn't know, I'm also a writer. I'm currently editing my fourth novel, Red Magic. I know I post a lot of Battletech stuff, but expect more about my writing as well!

Had a great time on stream with @swankmotron.com today! And while today is in theory my last day off before delving into the #Thunderbolt, I've none the less started breaking ground on it today. This will be the next video on the channel. Very cool.

Michael was someone I was so glad to have been able to add to my BattleTech trans rights shout-out initiative

His writing was where I started my BattleTech journey, and he's always fought the good fight against bigotry in his work

Folks like him are why I love this community 💜
