my captain wayne stickers arrived today i've never been happier
in the same mail was also an overdraft notice but we can ignore that
"Why include sexism in your medieval fantasy setting unless you're sexist" is a stupid question but it is also quite easily answered by the fact that Death Bed's pre-alpha having rules about the strict gender roles of the middle ages and traits that are gender "locked" means it already has more mechanical support for gender-noncomformity as something personally meaningful to a character than D&D ever will with its stated indifference to what you write in the gender field of your character's sheet and the offhanded mention in the footnote of a side paragraph of the third reprinting of its least popular book that a god who doesn't appear in any official modules is nonbinary
ever since I was a little girl I knew I wanted to menacingly walk towards a hero with a fireball growing in my hand

Eureka: The Fanservice Files adds a Trait to the game for your investigator having huge boobs.
This Mundane Trait, called “Well Endowed,” is for investigators with huge boobs.
It has two benefits and two downsides. The first is obvious, a +1 Contextual bonus to the Seduce Skill, always active. The second is a bit more situational. It makes your investigator’s cleavage function as a storage space, which, now that I’m writing it out, I think that that might be one of the features of Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy that i haven’t explained on social media at all.
So now this post is about the Wealth Skill too.
In Eureka, you don’t track individual dollars, your investigators have a Wealth Skill Rating. This is essentially their social/economic class, and it serves dual purpose. Firstly, it can be rolled for knowledge of high-class society, and the modifier can be reversed when rolling for knowledge of lower class society.
This also acts as a modifier for WP roll, which i have already covered in a previous post.
During gameplay, though, Wealth can also be rolled to purchase useful items at stores. With a Full Success, they can find and buy just what they’re looking for. With a Partial Success, they may be able to find something slightly worse than what they need, or they can buy what they need but they lose Composure from financial stress.
Wealth rolls like this are not only made at stores though, they can be made at the investigator’s house, vehicle, or backpack, usually with a negative modifier, to determine if they already had what they needed tucked away in the closet or trunk or something. (Fairies in particular have a bit of a hammerspace thing going on with these, and can pull much more out of places than one would expect them to be able to hold.)
The “Well Endowed” Trait extends this ability to your investigator’s cleavage. It has a low modifier, but at any time they can try to produce a useful item from between their breasts. The snoop illustration for this isn’t ready yet, but it will feature a snoop and a well-endowed snoopette both tied up with padlocked chains; and the snoopette is wiggling a set of lock picks out from between her breasts for the snoop to take and free them both.
(The hammerspace features of fairies’ storage also extends to “Well Endowed” if they have it. A well-endowed fairy could even hide a person in there, in a pinch, with onlookers none the wiser.)
Now for the downsides of Well Endowed. If a well-endowed investigator is ever trying to squeeze through a very small gap, they run the risk of getting stuck thanks to their enormous breasts. Secondly, any time a well-endowed investigator starts moving on-foot at a rate that would require the Speed rules to come into play, they must make a small Composure roll, because ouch, their back!

Thinking more about Mech dysphoria today.
Stepping out of your cockpit and stumbling because you don't have the right number of legs.
Blinking your eyes out of sync because you don't have the right number anymore, don't have access to on board cameras the way you're supposed to.
Struggling to grab and pick things up because you have the wrong number of fingers.
Failing to recognize your face in the mirror without layers of armor plating over it.
Feeling like a brain pulled from its body and forced to function independently.
