Home from seeing cute animals. Pictures eventually. Maxed out my drive time. Zzzzzzz #brieselfie
This week's Leading with Class episode is about the things that matter to us and how they affects our perception. Values and perceptions are examined through a lens of a half-orc paladin in Dungeons & Dragons, looking at the oaths and tenets a paladin follows, and how the way they present themselves can change people's perception of their "goodness." We hope you enjoy the episode and exercise!

Hey all, just a reminder that very soon I have a Kickstarter coming out for a game and art zine focusing on non-cis masculine people! It's called Behind the Masc, and we're just finishing up preparations now!
Note: if you happen to want to ask me some questions about the project that'd be awesome!
I have no idea what media sources would actually be interested in this, but I'd love to promote the project even briefly.
Writing a game book and wanna include nonbinary people, trans people, fluid people, gender nonconforming people? Check out this handy Transgender Language Primer, mostly created by nonbinary people!
I've been selected as a Big Bad Con guest, but they've got to reach the stretch goal! We're at $31,022 now! There's still time to reach $31,500 and get me to Big Bag Con to do workshops and games! 😲

Speaking of safety mechanics, download Script Change on PDF at briecs.itch.io/script-change and check out my other games there like Let Me Take a Selfie!
Finally, we still have a GoFundMe running since we're both still unemployed and fighting for unemployment and work. http://gofundme.com/keep-the-sheldons-afloat is where you can find and fund it. Any support is wonderful.
Thanks so much for all this! Please reshare. If I missed something, lmk!
