tabletop designers rally to support trans kids in Texas
Quote:
One of those people is creator Rue Dickey, who has begun to organize a bundle of tabletop role playing games (TTRPGs) which will be sold for $5 on digital games marketplace itch.io. What this means is that a huge amount of games—at this point, Dickey estimates that they will be able to offer around 250 games at the current rate of submission—including PDFs and .TXT documents of core books, supplements, lyric games, and small single-player games, will be made available at a massively discounted price. Typically on itch.io, the profits from the sale of these games would go directly to the publisher of the game, but with the bundling option that is built into the itch.io system, money can be collected and sent to charities. In this case, Dickey will split the money between Transgender Education Network of Texas and Organización Latina Trans Texas.
After putting a call out on Twitter, Dickey has received an overwhelmingly positive response, with many transgender game designers and their allies donating games to the bundle, which is still receiving submissions.
How will Paizo be supporting this industry effort?
