Hi! My name is Felix.
I am a non-binary trans artist, writer and performer.
I write Live Action Roleplay games, and run table-top sci-fi fantasy campaigns as a Game Master/Facilitator.
I am a PhD candidate at the University of York. My research is in the field of science fiction, fantasy and roleplay gaming.
I am publishing a queer, anarchist, non-human, sci-fi-centric tarot deck called the Tarot of Many Doors
My long term goal is to help establish an anarchist community on the moon.
