Transphobia has no place in gaming. Not at any company I work at, not in any company I’ve *worked* with. I will not negotiate over tolerance for human existence and dignity. If you believe that a person is less of a person because of their race, gender, sexuality or otherwise…gtfo

In my geeky hands! I did my usual editing/canon review on the Star Trek Adventures Technical Manual. Shout-out to the all the writers: Michael Dismuke, @n01h3r3.bsky.social, @ineti.bsky.social, Aaron M. Pollyea, @gmadmiral.bsky.social, and @daytonward.bsky.social, and the artists too many to list!

Hardcover copy of the Star Trek Adventures Technical Manual, with a crashed shuttlecraft in a barren winter landscape on the cover, the crew milling around it. Behind the book is a shelf full of other Star Trek Adventures books and various Trek memorabilia, most prominently the Playmate Original Series Starship Enterprise.

It's another GLORIOUS #SelfPromoSaturday my lovelies!

🎆Share cool projects; yours or someone else's
🏟️Boost this post: repost, like, comment!
🛸Be GOOD to each other!

☢️No generative-AI☢️

Course I've a couple things to yell about myself

A graphic split in half between a photo and an illustration.
Overlapping the middle is text that reads "# self promo saturday"

The photo shows a game splayed out; it's box open and some of each of its two decks of cards on display.

The right image shows a weathered statue with a long-dead skeletal night laying against it in rest still clutching their sword. Fireflies flutter around the statue and a calm, lily-pad laden pool lays at the feet of the skeleton. Text reads: Beside the lesser travelled road.
