[QUOTE="Gradine, post: 8115251, member: 57112"] Janelle is a freaking badass and as far as I know is still working with Goodman Games on pumping out awesome old-school adventures. Her partner is also super awesome. As a friendly side-note; it's usually considered bad form to refer to transitioned person's deadname (former name), even when speaking in the past-tense (ie, pre-transition). As a member of the community, I'll try to explain: who we "were" pre-transition was not who we really were, but who we had felt like we were being forced to pretend to be. I know that specifically Jennell prefers to be referred to as Jennell even from a historical perspective; there was a back-and-forth in the comments that look like they were deleted, but the Alexandrian upon her request removed her deadname and properly gendered her in his series of articles about her: [URL='https://thealexandrian.net/wordpress/13085/roleplaying-games/jaquaying-the-dungeon']Jaquaying the Dungeon[/URL]. By the way everyone should also read that series of articles; I know The Alexandrian is not everyone's cup of tea, and for good reason, but a better breakdown of the genius of Jaquays' dungeon-design you will not find.
