For the new folks:

Hi! I’m Jien (they/she) – I’m an Actual Play performer, producer, project manager, and (new) overlay designer. I’m based in the US (west coast), I have two beautiful cats, I am firmly anti-Zionist, and I like to play games with people.

More info in my carrd (in bio)!

Jien: a warm-toned light-skinned femme-presenting individual sitting in front of a brightly-lit kitchen. They have short (a few inches long) but high-volume reddish-brown hair and tortoiseshell glasses and the faintest hint of a smile with a small beauty mark above the left corner of their mouth. She’s got her left hand resting against her cheek with a black ring visible on the middle finger. They’re wearing a patterned red, black, and white shell top.

today, on the 2-year anniversary of Israel escalating its genocide in Palestine, we'd like to remind folks that the genocide did not start on Oct. 7, 2023. the Palestinian people have been experiencing a settler-colonial occupation and genocide since the Nakba in 1948. that is 77 years too many.

More appreciation for the cast of #TheBetween on @starcrawlrpg.bsky.social, this time for @renegadedumpling.bsky.social

Ren has both leaned into the disaster witch aspect of Noelani, and into summoning dark entities that always look like slightly wrong versions of people Noelani is close to.

1/3

Character art for Ren's character Noelani Astoria Clemence, from The Between on twitch.tv/starcrawlrpg, livestreamed Saturdays at 4pm Eastern Time/9pm British Time

The artwork shows a woman wearing a high quality shirt and skirt, holding tarot cards in one hand and summoning a purple flame in the other, her cat a little to the right.

Ash did not turn out as serious as they initially were intended to be, but tbh I adore them and their scary roommates and cannot wait to play The Between again

WizardStyles @wizardstyles.bsky.social · 2d

As the finale of our #TheBetween campaign on @starcrawlrpg.bsky.social is approaching, I want to shout out the fantastic players at the table, starting with @jienbirb.bsky.social, playing Ash, who has not only stepped up as our producer but also started the #WetGod and nonbinary magic in-jokes.

What Elliot omits is the fact that every gods-awful joke is immediately followed up with an order to laugh

I fucking hate this so much. I hate this so fucking much, but I can't continue to stay silent anymore while my integrity is continuing to be misconstrued and people keep getting hurt. This statement details my experiences while living with Noir Enigma (@/thenoirenigma) when I was homeless.

My Experience w/ Noir Enigma

01/20/2025 I’m writing about my experience with thenoirenigma, or Noir Enigma. His partner, AJ Fox (pahnita), will be included in this statement, but I want to make clear that I don’t harbor anything ...

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

But what IS Gallows Corner? What is a Peasants' Revolt RPG? This week, you'll find out. Today, we're talking setting!

The front cover of Gallows Corner - A Peasants' Revolt RPG.

A gallows and noose are silhouetted against a full moon. An ornate border of thorns and brambles extends around the edge of the cover.
