wayyyy too many instances of main characters going from poc to white because leadership/execs are too afraid of the responsibility of having a non white main character and everything that goes into that. you can’t allow your vision to change because of potential backlash.

i often think about how social media is dying… like how twitter is probably not making it to 2030 if they dont change leadership. i dont think this site will make it that long either… but for a different reason

twitter down… forced to look at millennial funny shitposts on here💔

This thing took so much work, from so many people - RPGs have so many little working parts, and we did so much to try to make this world feel alive. The team is just vibrating right now, seeing how this all goes, but for now it's great to just have it out there, in people's hands.
