The character creation rules for SexyTime Adventures are intentionally sexist. When it comes to choosing your looks, you only get one choice: various flavors of boobular. And then I started thinking - oh god. What if character creation was putting together paper dolls where your only choices sexualized your character?

And then this happened.

I tried to draw her more broken, but this is as bad as I could make myself draw it. I also originally wanted to have every head have the exact same face, but then I decided that I could have my feminist satire and show some diversity too.

Great Warrior is pretty much the best.

God dammit. I've already hacked Polaris once. Do I need to hack my hack now to write a Silver Millenium version?

This has generally been a non-professional tumblr but … how to say it? Maybe I’m reconsidering that.

Anyway I write tabletop role-playing games. This is my company site. My games are designed to be simple and easy for beginners to get into. Some of them (Beatrice, SKEW, Clover) support internet play very well and some of them (Beloved) you can play by yourself.

You can buy the games in eBook form for any price, even zero, through a handy instant-gratification delivery system.

Here is a handy guide to games you might be interested in.

I am on tumblr for: Politics. The Drifter’s Escape, a game about America, homelessness, and the Devil.

I am on tumblr for: Slash. Hot Guys Making Out, because that’s what it’s for.

I am on tumblr for: Adorable Animal Pictures. Clover, because it is adorable.

I am on tumblr for: mental health blogging. SKEW is a game written by a crazy person (me!) about crazy author science fiction (ala PKD). See also: Beloved, Witch House. Both games I wrote as healing mechanisms. See also: my entire corpus.

I am on tumblr for: Homestuck. Try Bliss Stage. It draws on a lot of the same source material, and the player/server dynamic has an interesting mirror. Also, if you like “people struggling to save a doomed world:" Polaris.

I am on tumblr for: Homestuck, but really just the porn. Hot Guys Making Out. Does what it says on the tin. It has guidelines for hacking it so you can Solkat to your heart’s content. Also has characters who might reasonably be construed as Morail / Auspisitice / Kismesis.

I am on tumblr for: Steampunk. Being a role-playing game on the topic of the High-Flying adventures of Beatrice Henrietta Bristol-Smythe, DBE, daring Aviatrix and accomplished Exploratrix, and her Gentleman Companion, who for a Modest Fee, accompanies Beatrice Henrietta Bristol- Smythe, DBE, when the Occasion warrants her an Escort.

I am on tumblr for: Anime. Bliss Stage is in many ways Gunbuster the RPG. Clover is in many ways Yotsuba& the RPG. Hot Guys Making Out is in every way a yaoi manga RPG.

I am on tumblr for: fame and followers and fortune. XXXXtreme STREET luge.

This.

This is the same man.

My reaction to the announcement of Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor was mainly one of disappointment. Peter Capaldi is a terrific actor, of course, but he's yet another straight white dude. And, you know, I'm sure he'll do a good job, and I'm sure I will watch and like his tenure as the Doctor. Like I said, he's a great actor.

I just feel like an opportunity has been missed to tell stories about a hero that isn't yet another straight white dude. Because our whole damn culture revolves around telling the stories of straight white dudes. How amazing would it have been to have a character like the Doctor regenerate into a form that isn't straight, white, and male? SO AMAZING.

(And yes I know that Helen Mirren doesn't want to play the Doctor. It doesn't change the fact that she's amazing and would have been amazing. Also, who does sad eyes better than Idris Elba? No one, that's who.)

I love Anita Sarkeesian and Feminist Frequency. LOVE. So I get really upset at the bullshit that gets hurled her way for daring to be a woman with an opinion on the internet. THE HORROR.

So I thought I'd poke fun at the astonishing unoriginality of Anita Sarkeesian' critics with a sarcastic flow chart, because who doesn't love sarcastic flow charts?. (For a full explanation, check out my post here on Gaming as Women.)
