In 2025 we are paying attention to publishers who use groups of white only or white majority people to promote their content in actual plays. Itβs not just the actual play studios who need to be held accountable.
Is there a reason a Drow-based supplement publisher is backing a kickstarter for an almost 100%, if not 100% white actual play? (Dungeon Delvers) on kickstarter? Iβm from the Pittsburgh area and a lot of us are against their lack of visible diversity and lack of statement about it.
Moving means an official TTRPG sized table and new shelves!!! π«Άπ»
The Trump administration's tariffs are poised to decimate the tabletop industry.
I would hope it goes without saying, but it doesnβt..
Anyone coming after creators for upping their prices on TTRPG books they should already charge more for due to US tariffs should get wrecked and stay wrecked.
New hair, new car, new boy and his cat π«Άπ» This is my year.
- Iβm moving! Again.. but this time Iβll be rent-free, so the car doesnβt sting so bad. Weβll be a five cat household π
- Iβve tried to contribute to mutual aid where I can. Please check on your friends here, whether youβre active in the space or not. Folks are struggling.
Until next time! π±
- My in person D&d group is going strong and is soooo delightfully gay. We use primarily third party content and I couldnβt be more proud of their progress.
- Iβve received most of what Iβve backed from Indie creators/systems Kickstarters and the big companies have serious competitionβ¦ wowβ¦ 2/3
2025 Update since leaving the streaming side of the TTRPG community to fix my finances π«Άπ»
- Iβve officially paid off half of my debt. Half. I can hardly believe I can say it out loud.
- I unfortunately had to buy a new car⦠a major setback, but I was putting more in it than it was worth. 1/3
Adding someoneβs Kofi link or GoFundMe page to your stream is just as easy as setting up a donation page for anyone else by the way. :)
If your year-end recap of charities is more important to your brand than helping your neighbor for mutual aid.. this post is not in any way for you. Youβre allowed to care about charities. They do help.. but you should also care about your fellow actors in marginalized communities.
Can 2025 please be the year we as a community centralize fundraising events for those we share space/streams with over large corporations that have the benefit of advertising and writing off their taxes while our own people donβt have access to stable WiFi? βΊοΈ If this is a hot take Iβm not sorry.
@hauntedtable.bsky.social ITβs HERE π
Today, they posted in another group, so I mentioned their previous response in a comment in an attempt to protect the marginalized creators being targeted by them, myself included, and now their page *magically no longer exists.*
Get fucked.
They are all over Facebook looking for new members, so I asked them what their diversity standards were given they originally posted in a D&d LGBT/diversity page. They have none and sure used a lot of words to say it.
If your community allows βeveryone who appliesβ to join and does not vet the folks in the spotlight/stream/room where it happens for diversity, it is not a safe space.
Someone please tell the Firebreathing Kittens Podcast that blocking me was NOT the move for calling them out. π Ew
Always a WIP π
Four types of adventurers from two different settings. The first row reads: Human fighter, Gnome wizard, Earthen Thief, and Svar cleric. The second row is the same archetypes but they are all humans from The Thief of Tales.
Three Earthen (a fantasy dwarf-like people) adventurers. They are listed as an Anvil City artificer, a Thoranic Templar, and a Burrow Lancer. This last one is riding a badger.
A collection of ancestries from my fantasy setting.
An outdated list of classes from the MCDM RPG, Draw Steel. A fan art because I love their game design.
My comfort zone:
Tiny fantasy people, preferably with big backpacks.
For anyone in an area that will be celebrating this, please be safe. We all know that right wing βcelebrationsβ embody every bit of unchecked hate their funerals do.
Just a reminder that credit scores are bullshit and mine just tanked FORTY POINTS for PAYING OFF my car two months ago. π
I am spending my first weekend day off making 5 small dice towers out of recycled Amazon boxes for my in-person players as early Christmas gifts while I catch up on NADDPOD C3.
Getting back into loving hobbies while in active burnout is so hard π₯Ή
I know itβs annoying and triggering.. but I can name at least one white person who was significantly called out for mistreating a BIPOC name in this space who made NO STATEMENT on Twitter and is now posting again here like nothing happenedβ¦. Itβs already going down.
Reminder to go through your block list on Twitter and reblock them here if they have the same name for marketing purposes because.. they can always rebrand after a month or so.
For fellow bug-fan gamers, I see the team behind Wildsea (a game I fell in love with almost instantly) are producing a new RPG about tiny insect adventures, Pico - www.kickstarter.com/projects/myt...
My new favorite hobby is commenting on Facebook ads for TTRPGs that are using AI (and say so in their kickstarters in teeny print somewhere) to let people know to beware and watching them try and defend themselves while comments about people letting everyone they know know not to back it roll in π₯°
I am officially planning the physical mail my Old Gods cast will be getting β°οΈ
