Dex the Gnome Revolutionary - Representing Neurodiversity with Simon (Shadowrun)
Manage episode 360653094 series 3375245
Simon brings Dex to the table. Dex is a gnome hacker slowly becoming a revolutionary.
Simon and I discuss finding the bravery to be who you are, building characters that embody neurodiversity, and the intersection of masculinity and fantasy races.
This character is built for Shadowrun.
Simon is a queer, non-binary, autistic, and ADHD STEM educator that builds TTRPG characters to appease his brain spiders.
