jess 🔜 PAX Unplugged

Hello! I'm Jessica Redekop, a freelance writer and game designer for TTRPGs. I love cats, movies, collaborative storytelling, and the Planescape D&D setting. Most of my work is for Paizo, on the Pathfinder and Starfinder RPGs, and you can find a list of my publication credits on my website:

Thank you @mysticartsdm.bsky.social for having me on. Solidarity forever! Organizing with @uwotc-official.bsky.social is part of my quest to make D&D the best game it can be! youtu.be/YOdv3YYZtDE?...

From the digital realm to the tabletop, solidarity forever! MTG Arena showed the world that workers at Wizards can and should unionize. D&D and Studio X are proud to follow in their footsteps as we work toward a better tabletop industry for everyone. actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

Oh, hey It’s #intersex awareness day I am And because the entire system lies to intersex people & suppresses our stories, while I knew something -had- to be up, I did not know I was intersex until I was almost 30 That was tough Raise awareness, so it’s not so hard for others #LGBTQIA 

D&D and Studio X will be holding our election on November 10th! Our workers will vote on whether to form our unions and put more power in the hands of our workers.

they're lesbians, harold

Currently, Hasbro’s guidelines keep us from having total ownership over the work we make in our free time. Our union aims to change that and ensure we own what we make in our free time. actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

The D&D and MTG teams unionizing might be the year's biggest gaming news story, a long overdue move in an increasingly fragile industry. Our friends and WotC employees Vanessa and Crystal tell us about their union's demands, and what they hope comes out of this. youtu.be/WgETZjouauU

Alright folks, I need to share with all of you just how amazing things are shaping up to be on 13 Omens. The rulebook has stories by me, James Jacobs, Ianara Natividad, Joe Pasini, Jason Keeley, and as of the next stretch goal Erik Mona.. all amazing Paizo folks.

I spoke with two members of @uwotc-official.bsky.social's newest unions just after the publisher declined voluntary recognition. The workers are confident in the election's outcome but describe a culture of crunch and empty promises where those billions in revenue are never reinvested in people.

My account is now in overdraft. In order to get out of that hole, keep my utilities (that bill is due in 5 days), and afford other essentials that are due, I need about $600. I hate asking. Any help is appreciated more than I can say.

If you’d like to join us in calling on leadership to reconsider yesterday’s decision and help us build a better Wizards together, you can encourage them to do so by signing our petition and sharing it! actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

Yesterday, Wizards informed us that it doesn’t intend to voluntarily recognize the D&D or Studio X units of our union ahead of a vote. We remain committed to creating a workplace focused on wellness, transparency, and collaboration by winning our coming election.

What's that behind you? 👀 It's 13 OMENS!!! Our campaign is LIVE! Back NOW on Kickstarter to get the book, a Kickstarter exclusive cover, and follow along with our stretch goals that will just make the game bigger, badder, and spookier! Get 13 Omens: https://bit.ly/4r7gE22

❗Attention, union supporters ❗ We're asking Wizards and Hasbro to voluntarily recognize our union—and you can help! Sign our petition today and show our leadership that you want change in the gaming industry. actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

When WOTC unionizes, we do it with style. One of our own members helped design these metal pins of our logo, and our supporters are proud to wear them at work! unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

the only manic pixie dream girl written by a man I'm willing to accept is Marla Singer. Any submissions to the Hall of Fame that are not Chuck Palahniuk's single freebie must come from someone with lived experience as a mentally ill woman.

Question for folks who panel at PAX Unplugged: Have panel submissions not opened yet, or have they passed? How even do you submit panels? I know there's no way to submit games to the schedule without applying to be an Enforcer, but can anyone explain how panels work?

Studio X is proud to make Magic. It's that pride that has inspired us to unionize. Learn more about our mission here and sign our petition for Wizards to recognize our union. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/studiox-letter

If you want to support our efforts at United Wizards of the Coast, the absolute best thing you can do is sign and share our petition asking the company to voluntarily recognize us! Together we can change the games industry for the better! actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

Be very wary of anything that drives a wedge between you & your allies, as your enemies are eager to use that to destroy you both. Who is gaining power while you tear each other down? Where is the real cause of the pain? #GOTV #VoteTransRights #SolidarityForever

Solidarity for-fucking-ever

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...
