Let's explore the revolutionary potential of Tieflings in Baldur's Gate 3 and D&D! I'll dig into the tropes of oppressed minorities in fantasy, critiques their co-optation into oppressive systems, and reimagine their stories through Marxist concepts of revolution and collective action! Some seep dives into the game’s characters, real-world revolutionary inspiration, and a special reveal of my completed Alfira cosplay! Or just me being a nerd for almost an hour straight 🤷🏻‍♀️

Shout out to @LarianStudios if any of your writers are interested in including revolutionary potential (or if you want a researcher / consultant on such things)
