That is a nicer time line than I would have put it...
Interesting tidbit The FR had lots of LGBTQ+ characters...a lot of it was subtle...but was there...
Than 4th ed FR came out...
All hints of LGBTQ+ characters were removed by the time jump...and not replaced...along with lots of strong female characters....
And that is why I will never buy a WotC product again...

True. I left out some (a lot) of negative events.
Interesting tidbit The FR had lots of LGBTQ+ characters...a lot of it was subtle...but was there...
And, more openly, depictions of women were much more balanced. (... says the "Chainmail Bikini" advocate.)
But, keep in mind, that at that time, the people who would create Paizo were still part of WoTC. (... so being quietly progressive would not have been out of character.)

Okay. But keep in mind that Hasbro was driving 4th Edition (to WoTC's detriment).

The thing is there was things I could do to recharge my batteries...but those things at best cause a distraction for a few hours...at worst sometimes it just adds to it.
This is what it feels like...anytime I can't be Selene I feel like I am not whole...and the parts that I use to hide that feel very false...
To make it part of the season....Everyday is like Halloween...I am constantly in a costume that family...work...even friends(even friends that I have come out to) make me feel like I have to wear.
It is painful...it fills me with frustration...or rage...or saddness...or antipathy. It makes me go deeper into my shell...
But those moments where I can be myself...are the best moments in my life...there just has not been many of those.

What’s something weird that you recommend everyone trying at least once?
I did say it was kind of random.
I would say spend one day as the opposite gender.
People have some strange ideas ... :)

Do you remember that tomorrow is a very important holiday?
I actually forgot....November is a very busy month for me.

It is also a reminder that governments don't always treat their citizens fairly.

A reminder to the govenments...they work for the people...not the other way around.

And, ... if we continue the conversation, we will violate Paizo's rules about politics on their boards.

Is there a region of Golarion that you think needs more development?
Mmm...
Absalom (though we are getting a AP and a book for it soon...)
Not so much a region...but a book going over both local and international politics would be awesome...well at least for me.
They need to revisit the Kynonin(sp? the elven kingdom) and visit the Dwarven homeland...which i am blanking on the name right now...
And Under the Oceans
And The Darklands...

The problem with that answer is that your generosity may alert them.
You could also divide them by using a sword for the Halfling, but gnomes are tougher, so you may want an axe.

Shunning it is the traditional answer. :)
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

And the mome raths outgrabe.

Well you play it as the big dumb naive guy with the heart of gold so they think they are tricking you...
