Hi! I'm Jess, a trans woman, founder of Don't Hurt Birds, and lover of experimental story telling. The mission of Don't Hurt Birds is to tell interesting stories in interesting ways, and so TTRPGs are a huge area of interest for us. All of our games are narrative focused and designed to be as easy as possible to just pick up and play.If you're interested in game building we also have More Like Guidelines - an actual play/game design podcast available wherever you listen. If you like anything I make here, please consider following me on Twitter @Jessica_Crimes, Don't Hurt Birds over at @DHB_Games. and sharing our stuff with a friend!
