My local venture officer drove off a player by being transphobic.
what rysky said, both with hug and the quick reporting.
Thanks, folks. I've sent an email to the top guy for my region.
I will keep an eye on the horizon and look for the silhouette of someone being thrown out.

This may call to some people in this thread.I was in a 2019 closed playtest for Girl by Moonlight, and the wait since has made me rabid - it's truly a next step forward in FitD design. My campaign (tweaking the On a Sea of Stars playset to fit my group's homebrew setting and tie a bow on four years of inter-linked campaigns within it of other systems) starts the first week of June. I can't wait!
If you want a preview of the game, the Roll20 sheets are up for free - just create a new game session of it and you can view them all! We have a Guardian, an Outsider, a Stranger, and a Time Traveler in our squad, and I can't wait to meet them.
Two days left to get in on this - and today was my group's second proper session, their first Mission! It's really something special; the magical girl theming does not mean this work shies away from stories about queer pain and triumph.
Huge huge fan.

If you get a chance to watch The Empire Strips Back, go. It's worth every penny! It's a Star Wars burlesque show. It was amazing!

I saw ads for it when I went into Manhattan a while ago. I used to be a bug burlesque guy, but covid certainly bit into/killed that. Maybe I'll keep an eye open in the future.

It's been a little while since anyone has checked in. I had a birthday a couple days ago. I'm now 52 so I'm finally playing with a full deck. I had a great birthday overall. It did end on a sour note though. For 3 consecutive years, my parents have not acknowledged my existence. Not just for my birthday, but for literally everything. Ever since I legally changed my name, they want nothing to do with me. I chose to accept their terms and no longer try and reach out to them either. That means that I unfriended my dad on Facebook. I had tried to reach out to him before then, for a couple weeks, with no response. As soon as I clicked that button, I started crying and have been crying off and on since. I really wish that my family could love me. I have come to realize that they probably never really did. Now, I have to process all of this and work on changing my thoughts.
I'm not ok right now, but I will be. I have an amazing support system in place. My friends have rallied around me and they are providing the support I need right now. I don't know why I'm writing all this out to all of you. I just feel like some of you might understand.

Hi, young Cindy and very happy birthday.
It is extremely hard to say good bye, not really to our parents, who are as they are and will likely not change, but to our hopes and dreams of having a real family. One who would be happy for us when we succeed and would help us feel better when we're down. Who would love us unconditionaly and put their children's happiness before their own selfish and self-centered wishes.
No matter how hard we wish for it though, it will never happen. We have to make peace with this reality. To focus on ourselves, our needs, our true loved ones who love us too, just as we are. And to accept that our parents can hurt us very deeply if we let them. So, let's not give them this opportunity. They're not worth it. Even though we love them.
While you, Cindy, are extremely worthy of all the love you get.
I send you a lot of positive energy and wish you the very best for the coming year
