while i enjoy shorter ttrpg series and i understand why they’re made (cast preference, scheduling, budget, production demands), i am such a SLUT for a long-term campaign… give me SLOW BURNS… give me LONG HAUL CHARACTER GROWTH… give me a sprawling plot that reveals intricate layers over months and years, layered and nuanced themes, subtext, PINING, PINING!!

I know by “big budget” you mean like, CR et al, but honestly this is a problem with some smaller ones too. Not to the same extent, but still something we can address

I am rarely if ever cast alongside another transfem. Playing with transfems in home games is almost unavoidable, but it’s far less likely in APs.

A lot of places that cast with diversity in mind don’t even have “trans” as a relevant category outside a general “LGBTQIA+”

once you realise it you’ll never unrealise it, but it’s fucking insane how prevalent trans girls are in tabletop rpg culture/spaces in real life when you compare that to the supposedly queer big budget live action actual play podcasts that tout themselves for having “trans representation” which in this case seems to refer almost exclusively cafab trans people playing almost exclusively cafab trans characters
