Do you like dark fantasy queer stories? How about stories by people of color interrogating themes of grief, vengeance, and revolution… set in a critically built noncolonial, anti-orientalist world?

If that’s the case, then check out THE CHAOS PROTOCOL!!!

CHAOS is an all-transgender, POC-led TTRPG show on Transplanar RPG (that’s us!!) where every Arc uses a different RPG system but follows the same core trio. It’s GMed by Connie Chang and JUST started, so there’s no huge backlog to catch up on!!

Its such a good story so far i’ve listened to 12 hours in the past three days guys—

If you have trouble processing audio, the intro of very first episode of the show in Arc 1 is a little rough, but luckily long monologues are not present for the vast majority of the series and actually decent auto captions are present on screen for the livestreams. (They fuck up the names but thats usually it)

here’s just SOME of the many things included in the series:

All the players and the GM are trans

HOT PEOPLE (men, women, genderfluid, androgynous, agender, Monsters, aliens, gods, etc whatever!)

FOUND FAMILY DYNAMICS

SUPER COOL MONSTER DESIGN!! AND WORLDBUILDING!!

Here’s a look at just some of the types of folks included in this show:

Queer People, Trans people (Transmasc main character, Disabled people (Wheelchair users, deaf characters, people with mental illness and disabilities, and more), POC, hijabi characters, Strong women (physically, mentally, emotionally, etc.) and People in Polyamorous relationships

The Main characters are a group of agents serving Fate’s will traveling to different worlds to complete their tasks:

i am not immune to this i fear

no one says you have to like every fic. no one says you can’t find a fic ‘terribly written’. but if at any point you find yourself not liking what you read, instead of being a dick about other people’s harmless hobbies that they do for themselves and you got to read for free, you could have just clicked the back button and looked for something else to read. or, better yet, you could’ve started writing what you wanted to read yourself.

this normalization of openly mocking other people’s fics — especially now with the raise of ai, bots harassing/trying to scam writers and the lack of positive engagement writers get — is why writers are wary about sharing their works with you. writers are kind enough to share with you what they wrote for free. you can just not read it if it’s not your cup of tea. but if you keep this mean girl bully energy up by screenshotting their works to mock and shame them, eventually there will be no fics for you to read, eventually there will be no fan contents for you to enjoy.
