Today is the birthday one of the most talented creators in TTRPGs, Jennell Jaquays, who passed away last year. Jennell was one of our company's earliest artists, and played an prominent role in Chaosium's success over many years, as an illustrator and writer.

The shit's been around. Any white people clutching their pearls like it's a terrifying new development are lying, maybe to themselves.

It's been there forever. But it IS terrifying that this is mainstreamed now that the Overton window's moved enough for the White House to post racist memes.

I heard a lot of these things said at parties. Sometimes those people would get shut down, sometimes slapped, sometimes ignored.
Antisemitic jokes have always been a popular way of testing the waters for edgelords.
Homophobic and ableist slurs were punchlines by themselves not too long ago.

I absolutely recommend reading this but at the same time, the only new thing is how unafraid bigots are now.

The watermelon and gas chamber shit, you can trace that back directly to the wild times of early 2000s internet.
And it's not like nobody's ever heard that edgelord humor in real life.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

One of the craziest stories I've seen in a long time. If you think Trump and his administration are extreme and depraved, just wait until you learn about the young guns who are positioning themselves to take over the reigns in the next few decades

I had an absolute blast!

Here's the mood board & playlist for Leander
Playlist: music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

A Character concept and mood board for my character Doctor Leander from The Between: London 1868 on Starcrawl rpg
It is a collage of pictures, words and quotes that provide a vibe of a Black London doctor who is also a murder and heartbroken over a love who has spurned him.

Time to talk about @cursebreakerelliot.bsky.social, who plays Araxie in our #TheBetween campaign on @starcrawlrpg.bsky.social.

Elliot is a great player and has rolled with all of the many punches coming Araxie's way, including nearly turning into a vampire and being abducted by a demon.

Character art for Elliot's character Araxie Elizabeth Justice, from The Between on twitch.tv/starcrawlrpg, livestreamed Saturdays at 4pm Eastern Time/9pm British Time.

The artwork depicts a woman, wearing a military outfit looking as if to challenge whoever happens to be in front of her, holding a halberd with gold decorations.

Character art for the cast of The Between on twitch.tv/starcrawlrpg, livestreamed Saturdays at 4pm Eastern Time/9pm British Time

The characters are, from left to right:

A winged changeling with silvery green hair, leaning back casually, their black cat next to them.

A woman, wearing a military outfit looking as if to challenge whoever happens to be in front of her, holding a halberd with gold decorations.

A woman wearing 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.

In the background, the ghostly, floating figure of a woman with a bleeding head wound as well as skeletal hands, an autopsy hammer with blood on it and a broken pocket watch floating above them.

A tall man, smiling rigidly, wearing a fine outfit including a tailcoat with blue floral brocade. He is holding a doctor's bag.

Transparent in the background is the looming figure of an older man in a suit and top hat with a full white beard and glowing green eyes, leaning on a gnarled stick.

Even though I've only been able to be at the table once with Rosie, I've watched her other performances and she always delights me. Eliska is so funny and so serious and a great character concept overall. I really hope I get to share a table with Rosie more!

@rosatyrs.bsky.social every moment we got with Eliska was a joy! And even when we didn’t physically see her, her ghostly hijinks always brought a little spooky fun element. I loved watching her gossip with the cats and give us a glimpse of her and Leander’s beef with one another

@rosatyrs.bsky.social you are such a wonderful scene partner! The way you've tormented Leander is perfect. It's also been an absolute joy to see you become the leader of the cats and badass poltergeist. Hilarious and terrifying all at once.

Rosie absorbs rules in a spongelike manner and so has taken to the guest star role without missing a beat.

Eliska has mainly interacted with Leander for the obvious reason of getting murdered by him, but Rosie has also made sure to grab some great scenes with other characters (and their cats).
