It is a delicate balance to respect the challenges facing queer folks in a socially repressive environment, while also presenting an honest picture of the past. As Moyra so elegantly writes, we are more important than the game, and she provides some useful guidance for telling queer stories.

Jason Pitre @genesisoflegend.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Now, @warbirds.bsky.social and I share a similar design challenge between Lumberjills and Lonely Timbers; the suffocating heteronormativity of the era which make it difficult to tell the queer stories. It goes without saying that queer folks in WWII suffered terribly and we want to avoid erasure.

In Lumberjills, the emphasis is on how the women come to discover their own competence and agency despite the hardship they face. You play women forming friendships, finding joy in the off-hours dancing the night away, and growing as people.

There is an amazing article from Khee Hoon Chan over at @rascal.news where the game is discussed at some length and is well worth a read. www.rascal.news/lumberjills-...

Moyra Turkington designed Lumberjills and successfully kickstarted it in the spring of last year. It's a lovely mixture of hard-work learning a new trade of cutting trees, and dancing scenes with handsome suitors. www.kickstarter.com/projects/unr...

Like the US Women's Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) or Russia's Nightwitches, the desperation of the brutal war forced the patriarchy to allow women to perform these essential jobs.

The Lumber Jills were the women of Britain who went to the woods to cut timber as replacements for the men who were off fighting in World War 2. Prior to this point, only men would work in forestry and these women were literally blazing trails that other women would follow.

It also means that being flamboyant murder hobos, or being too lax with the enemy, could result in an elder dragon landing on your party and having you as an afternoon snack.

If you take precautions to ensure that the imperial forces cannot report back to their superiors through whatever means necessary, you will then reduce your heat value by the amount you rolled. This means that caution and ruthless efficiency are essential for the survival of the resistance.

Jason Pitre @genesisoflegend.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
I am happy the new Heat rules work in Dragon's Dungeon. When you attract attention, you increase your heat rating and roll 1d20. If you roll above your heat score, you are fine. Otherwise, imperial forces will confront you at the next opportunity, their strength based on the amount of your die roll.

Diablo 1 insight: The fact that you do not naturally heal in the dungeon, forcing you to spend resources to prepare, is a great and gritty resource management system. Also, the fact that you gain information about the monsters after you defeat a number of them is absolutely fantastic.

Even if we were going to set aside those calls to action involving spending money or restricting development, progress on the other remaining calls such as making public statements, issuing annual reports, and criminal justice reform is absolutely feasible. Do it.

Jason Pitre @genesisoflegend.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I have read through all 94 of the Calls to Action and they are, to a one, completely reasonable and were feasible when proposed in 2015. They don't call for kicking settlers out of their homes, eliminating Canadian / Québec culture, or handing political power to First Nations. These are the minimum.
