This year, I atte...On Jarys and trans characters:<br /><br />This year, I attended Big Bad Con for the first time. It was my first trip up to a Bay Area con in a while, and the first time I actually got to know Mike and Jarys.<br /><br />My absolute favorite moment of that con happened at the beginning of my X-men game that Mike played in and that was short a player. Mike shouted across the room at Jarys, trying to entice them away from a game of Quiet Year that was about to start with the prospect of playing the Native American Genderqueer Mutant character I'd created for my game.<br /><br />Jarys was clearly tempted, but did the right thing and didn't abandon the other game, and the person who played the character instead did a wonderful job of it. But Jarys's reaction really affirmed my decision to create that character--and indeed my decision to create that game--it showed me a lot about the power and responsibility that a GM has in creating a world and the characters who populate it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677852272465933909noreply@blogger.com
