Something about existing in the world as a trans woman. *Anything* we do can be interpreted by *someone* as some kind of Weird Sexual Thing. Clothes, hair, hobbies, bodily functions, ordinary pleasures.

At school I had 2 friends obsessed with the phenomenally complex Star Trek board game Star Fleet Battles. Rule books like breezeblocks. I tried, and wasn’t massively enamoured, though has bred a love of a hex grid That combined with the Fighting Fantasy books finally led to D&D proper

"How did you get into tabletop role-playing games?" 1988. I was 19, at Uni, and knew about D&D tho' had never played. My then BF ran a one-shot for he and I, then introduced me to his gaming group. I statted a cleric, who later got reincarnated a minotaur, then an Irda for a DragonLance campaign.
