Rina Amaranthine, a TTRPG designer, writer, and trans rights advocate, joins us for this episode of Proud to Gayme. Rina is one of the lead organizers behind the TTRPGs for Trans Rights bundles, which have raised thousands for trans mutual aid. She talks with Danielle about the power of games to uplift marginalized voices, the challenges and joys of building a massive community bundle, and why inclusive, safety-first storytelling is central to the future of tabletop roleplaying.
Together, they explore how games can be both a refuge and a form of resistance—offering trans folks not just survival, but belonging, celebration, and joy.
