In a move that shocks no one, Texas (and it is always fucking Texas) Governor Greg Abbott signed an order to classify medical transitioning for transgender youth as child abuse. Again, I am not surprised because just like his abortion doctor bounty of a while back the purpose here is not to protect the children (as a state that ranks 34th in k-12 education and 43rd in infant mortality they obviously don't care about real children) but instead about bein cruel.
I say this and can't stress this enough, Fuck Texas.
Thankfully there are still good people. And there are an absolute ton of them over on Itch.io.
I don't spend a lot of time over there and I don't sell my RPGs through there. It is a very indie sort of scene and I have found some good things there but I don't really "click" with the place. That's fine we both can still live very happily. But in this one case, we are in 100% agreement.
Creators on Itch.io are offering up a bundle of TTRPG PDFs to support trans rights in Texas.
TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas!

You saw that price right. For $5 you get 493 games! That is just a fraction more than a penny a game.
If you find 10 in that lot that you like then it is still a deal.
The funds will go to support two organizations: Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT) and OrganizaciĆ³n Latina de Trans en Texas (OLTT).
Many, many kudos to Rue (ilananight) for setting this up.
As you can see this is already past its funding goal with a month still to go! Given the markdown of these games, I think it would be great if they got 10 times their goal!
So spare a Lincoln (that's $5 for everyone outside of the US) here and support a very worthy cause.

ReplyDeleteExcept when it's Florida.
Thanks for pointing this out.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a great deal. Even I tossed in one of my project to the bundle. Hoping it just keeps on climbing and the charities can use that money to support those in need while pushing back against the idiotic legislation that Texas is trying to push through.
