Me, opening my email and getting an offer of an interview call with some very prolific #ttrpg people who are miles out of my league: Anakin Skywalker smiling. The subtitles read '(nervous chuck
I'm very small. And I have a lot of social anxiety. So you can imagine the kind of stress I'm under.
I'm also an awful people-pleaser and I'm terrified of upsetting any of them lmao
Me: I'm much more confident than I used to be!

Also me: Please find me funny or i will cry.

Your daily reminder:
No, Critical Role didn't invent the Combat Wheelchair for #dnd. I did, and Matt very kindly asked to use his platform to promote it. It's very hurtful to see folks praising a show for creating something it didn't actually create! Don't spread misinformation!
And this is no hate to Critical Role. I'm very grateful for their support and Matt even talked about and promoted my work on his twitter, rightly crediting me as the creator. This is me just asking for folks to realise that though the chair is on the show, I was the one who-
created it - I spent almost a whole year making that ruleset and it hurts to see folks crediting someone else for my work!

*Dagen Underthorn* is Matt's creation. The *Combat Wheelchair* is NOT.

Thanks for understanding and take care! 💜

A quick guide for new folks here about ableist language and language changes!

1) Don't say 'differently abled' or 'handicapped'. The term is 'disabled'.

2) Disability-first please! Say 'a blind person' NOT 'a person who is blind'. Person-first is outdated and was a concept-
pressed on us by able-bodied people in the Disability Studies field. It comes from the idea that you should 'see the person not the disability' which is gross. However, older disabled people may prefer person-first language. If you're unsure of a person's preference ask politely!
3) Don't say 'wheelchair bound'. It is ableist and doesn't account for ambulatory wheelchair users! Additionally, wheelchairs are not confining, they are freeing and give a lot of disabled people independence!

4) 'Cr*pple' lame' & 'r*tard' are slurs! Do NOT use them. However-

Hey, new folks!

My name's Sara (or Mustang), and I'm a disabled, chronically ill, and queer disability advocate, predominantly working in the #ttrpg #dnd sphere!

Here's a short thread of some of the things I do!

1/6
I created the Combat Wheelchair - a supplement for 5e #dnd that is free to download and use in your games! In fact, you've probably seen Dagen Underthorn on @CriticalRole use this ruleset (many thanks to @matthewmercer 💜) & @idlechampions' Talin Uran!

I currently work at @RTalsorianGames as a writer on their Witcher #ttrpg. I've also helped to bring Cyberchairs and wheelchairs to their Cyberpunk RED and clockwork prosthetics to their Castle Falkenstein!

I've also made free ♿ PDFs for the Witcher:

I thought it'd be fun to make a thread about Talin Uran and update it once every day with a fun general factoid about him! @idlechampions @Wizards_DnD

Day 1:
Talin can speak Common, Infernal, Undercommon, Thieves' Cant & learned Common Sign Language from Nat, Squiddly, & Jenks!
These will all be very general factoids, if you want specifics you'll have to tune in to interviews and shows over on their Twitch!
twitch.tv/cnegames
Day 2:
Talin's wheelchair was a gift from his time spent working for the Bregan D'Aerthe. It was a custom order from an Artificer in Luskan and has seen several upgrades over the 6 years he's been using it!
