@traversefantasy Hey Marcia. Really sad to see you go, but wish you all the best for the future. Your blog, rpg-journalism, FMG, Fivey, & non-rpg writing are all awesome. Lots of stuff I keep thinking about. Looking forward to what you do next, even if it’s just you chilling with friends!
@saintdutchess@ianmcque F-ck me. Thank you Macavoy. You’re right. I grew up sh-t poor. Mum and Dad limited formal education. But they showed me cinema, radio, drama, novels, opera, ballet. Public school teachers helped me find painting, theatre, literature. You carry it with you. It’s armour, hope, joy.
@ocologh@StevenJMiles We already get stuff-all from all the coal and minerals big companies pull out of the ground, and stuff-all from all the gas they sell to China. LNP and their corporate mates have been desperate to pull out all the Uranium - and we’ll get stuff-all from that too. F-ck em.
@ocologh@StevenJMiles Mate, the LNP are only pushing Nuclear because it would then open up arguments for restarting uranium mining in Kakadu / NT. Don’t get sucked in. https://t.co/5B62DPypdb
@MirielleAsaki@PrismaticWastes I really hope Jason pulls his head out of his ‘Xander’. And I’m glad Prismatic and Anne made some noise about this - stuff like this is just not cool.
@MirielleAsaki@PrismaticWastes JA should’ve updated his site to refer to Jennell, and to ‘Jaquaysing’ not ‘Jaquaying’. If JA didn’t want to use ‘Jaquaysing’ in his book, then that’s fine as far as it goes. But renaming the term ‘Xandering’ and editing his original posts to ‘Xandering’ is Yuck. Just yuck.
@PrismaticWastes Good blog. Jason’s approach here is, well, wrongheaded. And disappointing. JA coining a term for looping adventure design after Jennell was a good thing. Class act. The way he’s now tried to change the term after his name, and edited his original iconic post, is just sh*ty.
@hexcrawl I’m really sorry JA. I’m sure you’re an OK guy. But this doesn’t sit right with me. It’s just … disappointing. I thought you were more thoughtful than this. In the end, you do you. But honestly, I think you’ve really come at this the wrong way.
@hexcrawl You did a good thing coining a term for looping designs after Jennell. Class act. It would’ve been a kindness to update your posts to use ‘Jaquaysing’ instead of ‘Jaquaying’, to better reflect her name. But ‘Xandering��
is just wrong headed. And doubling down on it, more so.
