Jammi of Sword Queen Games on representation in TTRPGs and queering genre norms
Episode 2 of Kritiqal Care features tabletop rpg designer Jamila "Jammi" R. Nedjadi of Sword Queen Games (they/them). Jammi's games focus on queerness, Filipino culture, and accessibility, including the Filipino cyberpunk of BALIKBAYAN and magical girl anime inspired REINCARNATION REDUX. They join me to discuss their creative process, what life looks like in the Philippines during the Covid-19 pandemic, and why Bioware won't let us look at Garrus' butt.
