Can anyone recommend an RPG game with a customizable protagonist that I can play on my PC? I need a new obsession.

Gay options a major plus but not required. Doesn’t matter if it’s old or new.

Might just get Jade Empire to continue flinging my money at Bioware…

I went to see the Oz movie. Beautiful, but now I feel like I need a long shower to wash off the poisoned sugar.

I know, right? I mean, it started out really cute and beautiful and intriguing but it went downhill pretty fast after the opening credits. Mostly the part where they…

My thoughts exactly. And yeah, I’m having to really work on being less angry about movies around my family this summer. It’s haaard.

I like to think of Oz as a propaganda film put out by Wicked’s Wizard.

Heeeyyy you fixed it!

I have not seen Wicked, but since I too despised Oz, and this idea intrigues me, I think I’ll check it out somehow.

You should read the book, if you’re okay with depressing stories. It’s truly a brilliant piece of subversion. The musical is a little watered down, and removes the queer themes and POC characters, but it is highly enjoyable.

I’m not a misandrist, but I don’t like books with male main characters. Men aren’t very interesting to read about.

During last year’s discussion we rattled off a handful of gay and lesbian characters in our company’s various works—yes, Rufus and Burnie did come up (http://gaygamer.net/2007/03/top_10_gayest_tabletop_charact_9.html)—after which someone asked the panel about transgender characters.

Screeching. Halt.

Awkward comments about girdles and curses and mimics.

And nothing.

NOTHING!

Between Joe, Jeremy, Steve Kenson, and myself—lifetime gamers each—we had nothing. But we acknowledged that we can do better than that. Already I’m preparing for this year’s seminar and already I’m planning to bring that topic back up with at least three examples from the interim year of Paizo products that have included positive portrayals of transgender characters.

That’s not for me, that’s not for some mythical GLBTQ agenda, that’s because a gamer at a convention told me she’d like to see a character she could relate to in our games. She wanted someone like her to slay monsters, cast magic, and be a hero.

No problem. I can do that. After all, that’s what Pathfinder is all about.

F. Wesley Schneider, Editor-in-Chief for the Pathfinder RPG, on including trans* characters in the game’s official setting.

Among other things, this has led to the creation of the genderfluid Arshea, Empyreal Lord (basically an Archangel) of freedom, physical beauty, and sexuality, champion of the repressed and oppressed. Arshea’s devotees spend a period of time living as the opposite gender during their religious training, and at the end, they are “encouraged to live their life as a member of whichever gender they feel they most identify with” (x).

This is very very cool, and a positive attitude to have about having good and diverse representation so all sorts of different people can see themselves in your stories, and as your heroes. :)

I wanted to share this because it’s about a company understanding the importance of diverse representation (especially of strong, heroic characters) to marginalized people who, like everybody else, want to be able to see themselves in your world, living their power fantasies.

Because I want to see more picspams and gifsets embracing all women. Because fandoms can be toxic for women. Because maybe writers will get the message that we want more complex and positive treatment of all sorts of women—trans women, women of color, women with mental illness, queer women, etc.

One rule—your caps/gifsets may contain men, but they have to be secondary in focus to women.

Sleep, “Close your eyes till break of day,”
But Dreams came by and smilingly
Gave both to Love and Sleep their way.
