När bägaren rinner över

A purple bag with dice spilling out of it.

Häromdagen gjorde jag ett misstag. Mitt misstag bestod i att tro att det går att ställa enkla frågor i bräd-och rollspelsforum och tro att jag skall få ett enkelt svar. Jag vill framföra en innehållsvarning innan du läser vidare. Texten innehåller citat och de citaten kan ibland vara transfobiska, rasistiska och sexistiska. Jag har tagit... Continue Reading →
