Enjoying the show so far, especially since I won't be able to get a campaign going here until at least October! Thanks for your hard work, and I look forward to listening in on all of your rad space adventures.

Tinkering with a solar system that serves as a setting and adds some playable aliens that are more, well, alien than what we've seen so far. Also working on a Junker theme, with vague ideas for a few others.
The fact that most androids explicitly reject humanity's take on gender was one of the first things I got really excited about when my core rulebook arrived! Warmed the cockles of my nonbinary little heart. Would love to see a bunch more species that either have an entirely different take on gender than humans, or that don't have a concept of gender at all... And maybe they have other kinds of social categories that humans have no equivalent to. I'd also love to see a lot of different ideas of what a family/social unit is. Just, like, give me all of the everyday xenocultural info, I will bask in it forever. The thing about "they" for everyone, and I say this as someone who uses They/Them, is that it's fine if you don't KNOW someone's pronouns, but ditching other pronouns altogether is pretty uncomfy for people who use those pronouns and may have had to struggle or are still struggling to have those pronouns used and respected. As for the thread title, I can see where people are coming from, since a reclaimed slur is still a kind of slur, but... I also ID myself as Queer, so I'm happy when I see something labeled specifically For Me. Not sure there's a universally graceful way to handle that, but I can't say I enjoy folks telling queer people to stop using the word they self-describe as. (I would not ID any other real life person as queer without definitively knowing that it was OK to do so) |
