My name is Jessica Redekop. I am a professional game designer for TTRPGs, and have done freelance work for Wizards of the Coast. I ask Hasbro and WotC leadership to voluntarily recognize their workers' union. I don't maintain working relationships with companies that don't support their workers.

I started reading 4th Wing—that looks wrong—Fourth Wing. Anyway, the first person present tense is sending me. I don't know that I'll ever be used to it. But the story is good so far. Vicki was surprised I'd read something so het, but any drink is a desert...

Never have I ever written a mimic into an adventure because it's my brand. I do it because they're appropriate for the situation... Which is often.

been thinkin about how robots are gonna kill us

Scratchy drawing of a two panel comic.
Panel 1:
Titled:“How we thought robots would kill us”
A robot shoots a human to death with a gun. It screams “Die flesh sack”

Panel 2:
Titled “How robots will actually kill us”
A MediBot is injecting something into a humans arm. The bot says “Whooops. I injected you with cancer instead of insulin. That’s on me”

Especially when it started as "we're just people with bodily autonomy who want to live our lives" and they decided that was a reasonable argument for genocide. We kinda took a stronger stance as after that.

WTF Jesse diner meme where Jesse considers that because Smeagol only gave the wraiths the words Shire And Baggins they'd have hunted down and killed all of the Baggins in the Shire. Kinda fucked up

This angry teeth showing Bowser is a pixelated sprite. It's colorful and has black outlines. It's over a purple backdrop.

Watching the new Harry Potter series is a clear signal that you'll support JK Rowling no matter how many lives she takes. It shows that holocaust denial and destroying human rights groups isn't a deal-breaker for you. It has never been easier to take the right side of history.
