Something personal

I usually do not write about my personal things, as long as they do not interfere with my hobby. And this is that exception. Since january I do not have personal life as the chairman of the sexology association at my university I'm organizing a conference about transgenderism, and while I'm doing it I've met a lot of indirect hostility toward my cause. Rant mode off.
So merging these two my interests(that is tg and rpg) I was thinking about incorporating transgender and lgbt themes into my campaign. And I don't have in mind such things as lesbian ninja vampire or some such. As for incorporating these themes I'm thinking about increasing verisimilitude of a campaign not changing it into something (imho)naive as Mercedes Lackley prose or offending sexual(and gender) minorities.
Do you do it at  your table, if so how do you incorporate aforemensioned themes?

Wargaming in the Barbaric Frontier

Apart from role-playing in the Barbaric Frontier, I'm solo-wargaming in it. For now I've got dwarven, peasant rebels/brigands and barbaric warbands. Now I'm working on a battleboard and some scenery for my games and probably going to buy warhammer gor box to get some beastmen and perry's  mounted men-at-arms and continental mercenaries for margrave's army. Here's beastmens' rooster for the Song of Blades and Heroes game:

Graphic Inspiration XXXI









My first bookbinding work

Week ago I've acquired a long-reach stapler which will help me make some booklets out of my still growing collection of pdfs. Now I'm using booklet creator demo(It only allows  to convert a document of 16 pages) so I've made booklets of two very short adventures - the Pod-Caverns of the Sinister Shroom and the Barrow Mound of Gravenmoor. So my question is - does anyone no a freeware app that would convert my pdf into booklets no matter the page count?

Warlock Friday


The rpg that started this all for me is...


... polish translation of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd ed.  It was somewhere between 1999 and 2000, while I was 9-10 years old. My memories rpg-related from that time are very vague. My best friend at that time had PHB,MM and DMG. I even don't remember who was my first character, but I suppose it was dwarven fighter.
