GM Connie Chang 🌈🐸 @byconniechang.bsky.social · Nov 11

Hello, Bluesky! I’m Connie (they/he/she), an ENNIE-winning, Chinese-American Game Master and TTRPG designer exploring divinity, monstrosity, grief—and what it means to kill god.

I run @transplanarrpg.bsky.social, an all-trans, POC-led #ActualPlay in a noncolonial, antiorientalist multiverse. 🏳️‍⚧️✨

A photo of Connie smiling and laughing in blue hanfu with a peacock style crest around their shoulders. Their hair is shaved on the side and they’re wearing glasses. The foreground contains an animal bone and a large miniature figure of a tabletop character in robes wielding a longsword.

A selfie of Connie smiling outdoors, in front of a green and white barn. Connie is a Chinese person with light brown skin, large square glasses, and short black hair shaved on the sides. They wear a pale blue hoodie underneath a denim wool-lined jacket. Their right hand is on their head, sweeping their bangs to the right side of their face.

I love driving my rural farm boy partner to horsie time as a Chinese city girl…. it’s just me, my very clean pants, my ancient Toyota Corolla, and my uncallused hands watching them do horse stuff

On October 5, 2021, a stack was born.

136 campaign episodes (and a bunch of A-Talks, Behind the Screens, Adjacents, etc. etc...) later, we stack ever higher.

And it's only getting better from here.

Unspeakable amounts of thanks to the froggy folks who have joined us for this adventure.

Oh potatoes and molasses! 🍂🎃

It’s that time of year again! Alongside your annual rewatch of OVER THE GARDEN WALL, you should watch BEYOND THE BROOK. It’s the Over the Garden Wall inspired TTRPG actual play I produced with some incredible talent.

Check it out!: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

A vignetted image of a dimly lit forest trail with a few rays of sunlight making it through the canopy in a painterly style. In the center stand 5 characters, a young White girl with ginger hair dressed up as a witch, a young adult person who seems to be made of orange and purple honey, a scruffy young adult with tanned skin and brown wolf ears and a tail, a grey translucent young kid who seems to be made of wind and smoke, and a Black young adult woman in a dress made of leaves and flowers with a fox laying by her side. On the right-hand side, cloaked in and made of shadow is The Fiend, watching the kids with glowing white eyes. The image reads “Beyond the Brook"

Two years of continued and livestreamed genocide following decades of occupation, colonization, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes is sitting heavy in our hearts and souls.

We must continue to fight for liberation beyond fiction. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. 🇵🇸
