I was going to do a thread of "For Pride Month here's all the Actual Plays I listen to with queer, trans, and nonbinary people in them" and then I realised that's just... all the Actual Plays I listen to.
Had a blast checking out Force of Extinction with @cpytel.bsky.social and @12sidedstudios.bsky.social! We successfully defended our moldy factory settlement of New Carbanara from Hyacinth’s rancid hooch.
I had an absolute blast playing this! Who wouldn't want to use hot tea, an opera score, a memorial plaque, and sweat as weapons!

It's been 5 days and I've gotten to episode 8 of The Badlands by @magehandhighfive.bsky.social . What I find so awesome about this #actualPlay is that while there are brutal enemy deaths, the main characters are so sympathetic with each other and with most of the NPCs they meet. #TTRPG
