@Cosmo im acting as a pseudo-gm for our current session (i.e. not involved in absolutely everything, but controlling a handful of important npcs and making a few macro-level decisions thatll help give the late-game more focus and structure which is historically where stuff falls apart) which this group hasnt had before, but ive gm'd enough ttrpgs for them that they have some amount of faith in me to do some good stuff for em. sadly our time player has already flaked and stopped rping, which DOES suck but itll give things more stakes since there's no do-overs - we get one shot and we cant fuck it up.

also, "every single person in our rp group came out as some flavor of trans". MANY SUCH CASES. everyone ive rp'd with either started trans or had their gender trans'd especially in the last 4ish years. i swear, the "homestuck RPer" and "transed gender" venn diagram has to be overlapping so much it just looks like one slightly blurry circle
