Hey all,

I'm on the last few months of my contract, in higher ed. While I try to find work that's more permanent, I do count myself lucky to be in a better position to offer help with little worry of reprucussions. In brief, I am trying to do whatever I can to support my LGBTQ+ students who are terrified. I'm a tough person, like I've seen some shit (war) but its breaking my soul feeling powerless here in the States.

Any suggestions, organizations, or other ideas I could have at the ready if a student needs help? I just want to be the best ally and empathetic human I can from my position, while I can.

I'm also being cautious since its getting harder to know who and what to trust, but ideas on exercising greater caution when offering help are welcome too. Sad I have to even convey that...

I made books of short one-shots to eliminate that stress DMs feel when they aren't fully prepped.

I use a bullet point format, designed for quick absorption during a session. No need to study and make notes beforehand. Each adventure is on a two page spread, so you aren't flipping around pages to find info. They are very information dense.

I varied the locations, type and plot so you'll have an adventure to fit just about any situation. Most adventures are not combat oriented. Some include riddles, puzzles and handouts. Each adventure has side tabs, so you can quickly find the type of adventure you want in the middle of your session. Won't be scrambling when the players go somewhere you didn't plan for.

The adventures are system agnostic, so there are no stat blocks. You'll need to look up the monsters in your system.

I worked hard to make each adventure very different from one another. I like to set up player expectations, and then use those expectations to surprise them. There are road ambushes with double twist endings, a gladiatorial battle where the enemies use the PCs own weapons against them, and a bard scroll, wrapped in a riddle, rolled up into a sea shanty. They've been selling well and I’ve been lucky to get amazing reviews.

Try an adventure out for yourself. Each book description includes one free adventure and instructions:

p.s. I believe people who buy printed RPG books should get the PDF for free, so if you buy from my website, I'll send you a DTRPG link automatically. If you buy from a game store or Amazon, email me a copy of your receipt for the link.

Got the pretty brutal news that one of our three cats is suspected to have FIP. Luckily, treatments have become available in the last couple of years so I'm trying to not get carried away freaking out - but this poor thing has had a tough go.

She came to us as part of a foster litter of kittens without a mom. She was half the size of her siblings and super malnourished. Long after her siblings were adopted, she stayed with us. She had allergies requiring special food and daily (expensive) meds and no one wanted to adopt a higher needs cat. She then had a reaction to her meds which caused excessive gum growth so the shelter decided she needed all of her incisors pulled. At that point she'd been with us for over a year and was fully integrated with our two cats. We decided that maybe this was her forever home and hoped that we could better manage her care by working directly with our vet instead of coordinating through the shelter.

Wrapping our heads around her now having FIP is rough - but we're going to do everything we can to help her through it and are hopeful she'll recover. Poor kid deserves a win...

This is the reality of the current effect of the Executive orders regarding passports for trans people in the US. Because of the way things are implemented they are getting stuck in a no-mans land where they cannot have any travel papers at all. If you know a place to share this please do.

A great video about how fandom really doesn't know how to handle asexual characters in media and likes to sexualise them regardless. There is nothing wrong with this in the sense of exploring identity etc in fan fiction inherently as long as they don't pretend that it's ever going to happen in canon or shout down asexuals who would like some characters that are canonically like them for once.

From Redrazor's Patreon page:

Quick update:

I finished phase 1 of development, which is to create a working app without any of the paid features.

I've signed up to the Apple Developer program and I'm in the process of getting a build of the app uploaded for testing. Once that is done I'll be clearer about how to get people to sign up for a bit of testing. I'll make a new post about that when I'm ready.

In the meantime I'm working on phase 2, which is the remaining locked paid content (custom stuff, pets etc). I've got another couple of weeks before Guns and Gears Remastered so hopefully will get the bulk of it done before then.

As ever, thanks for your continued support.

So, I spend what is objectively too much time on Kickstarter. Every couple of days, I buzz the site, primarily looking for my next fix of bestiaries for my Pathfinder 2e table (I don't know what it is about physically bound monster stat blocks on glossy paper, but I apparently need that shit hooked directly up to my veins).

This January's been a bit of a lull period for that, though. It has seen a bit of a resurgence on the D&D 5e front, though, with a bunch of interesting projects having released recently. I thought I'd pass some of them along (as well as everything else I've seen in the last couple of weeks).
