My first essay of the year is on Connie Chang's "Godkiller!" It's an intimate duet game in a long line of media about putting Gods to the sword. I took a brief look at the history of deicide, and how Chang worked those ideas into the text!

Transcript here.

Best Queer TTRPGS

Blue Rose is a long-time love of mine. From its understanding of gender to how it views relationships, this world is queer through and through. Blue Rose uses the AGE system and is well equipped for epic fantasy tales.

Girl By Moonlight: a relative newcomer on the scene, Girl By Moonlight was published earlier this year by Evil Hat Productions. The game actively encourages queer themes, such as the exploration of gender identity and triumph of love over an uncaring world (while not essentially queer, the latter theme is very relatable to many of us!)

Girl By Moonlight uses the Forged in the Dark system, which originated with the popular Blades in the Dark.

Thirsty Sword Lesbians is a by now famous ttrpg Powered by the Apocalypse. Thirsty is a celebration of queer culture, sometimes joyful, sometimes angsty, always engrossing. Its robust social mechanics make it an excellent alternative to dungeon crawlers for those looking for a roleplay heavy gaming experience.

Lichcraft is a rules-lite game about becoming an immortal lich to live long enough to receive gender-affirming healthcare from an increasingly long waitlist. The art is gorgeous and the game cathartic. Also, who doesn't love liches?

Queer Actual Plays

High Rollers: a popular British Dungeons and Dragons actual play with a genderfluid DM, and multiple queer players. Their most recently completed campaign, Aerois, contained multiple queer characters and relationships.

Transplanar: an all trans, bipoc-led production. You may like to start with Godkiller: at sixteen episodes, it's the perfect length to get a feeling for this tale's vibe and storytelling style.

Transplanar really does feed into my incredibly niche interest of characters with deities for mothers having a complex/unhealthy relationship where they see themselves as serving said deity first then an individual person

[whoopseydaisy]

this one is for the locked tomb genderqueers and im so serious. litany, vessel of hatred, made from and into a weapon, purpose built to kill a god. its gay. its tragic. it has gorgeous prose. and knuckle knives. and spit. and rain.

GK:LH E8 Spoilers

I’ve always imagined that the longer that Litany spent in Yaolan, the more mortal they would start to appear. Circulation, sunlight, and a heartbeat will do wonders for a guy!! Here's a pre & post show versions of the Vessel of Hatred, as a treat.

Campaign II: THE CHAOS PROTOCOL premieres on Saturday, June 24th at 8pm ET.

The Chaos Protocol is an all transgender, POC-led dark fantasy actual play series set in a non-colonial, anti-orientalist multiverse. Our series will follow three Transplanar Reification and Nourishment Syndicate (TRANS) agents on their missions through a newly rewritten reality. Each Arc will be set in a different realm and utilize a completely different TTRPG game system.

We are exactly ONE MONTH away from our premiere. Cast announcements, system reveals, character art, and trailers coming in June.

Welcome home, Transplanerds.

CHAOS has been waiting. ❌

🌈 friendly reminder: your ttrpg game doesn't have to be an actual play or a podcast to be great.

it's valid to have things that are just for you & your friends...

With the high visibility of successful public games like TAZ, CritRole, Transplanar, AcqInc, Dimension20 etc etc, people feel a lot of unnecessary pressure to not only publicize their games, but to monetize them in some manner.

hustle culture teaches us that we, too, must make money on the things we love or we're not doing it right, and that just makes me sad, idk about y’all.

What's even more sad is people who feel like failures for not ever reaching those extremely lofty heights of popularity.

this isn't to gatekeep or stop anyone from making an AP or a Podcast - please go live your best life! Make the things! We need your art!

BUT - please make sure you do it because you truly love creating that kind of content, as there's truly no money or fame in it for 99% of us.

PS: I say this as someone who started out guesting on APs in 2020 for lack of other things to do + evolved from there. For me, it's a labor of love. I never imagined I'd rebrand to being a ttrpg streamer. (I also say this as a fan of the Podcasts/APs I mentioned)

[broken-bisaster]

hey, I might be wrong, but I think Transplanar rpg is a trans allegory

[podcast-bookclub]

The book club's listen-through of @transplanarrpg starts tomorrow. Come hang out & talk about Arc 1 of The Second Stranger with us over on the Discord server!

i care them

Image description: A digital drawing of Øka Hyye from Transplanar RPG. They're an aasimar with grey skin, freckles, many scars and two pupils in each of their eyes. Their short dark hair is pulled back into a ponytail and shaved on the sides. They're wearing a sleeveless black turtleneck and a leather pauldron on one shoulder. They look somewhat disheveled with hair hanging out of their ponytail and deep bags under their eyes. Upon opening the image there are outlines of wings with eyes in them visible behind them. ID end.

I forgot to post this little Transplanar RPG sketch here! I'm catching up with the podcast episodes (and I'll soon switch back to YouTube once I'm done with those) and I just can't say how good Transplanar is! It kept me company through the last couple of years and I absolutely love it, when I think it can't possibly get any better it does over and over again. I'm now listening to the Hounds of Mercy and damn, that's such a great miniseries and fits to well with the rest! I love all the PCs and I can't wait to get to hear the new additions to the other Arcs of the series~

[ID: A simplified sketch of Manaia, Vee, Dewey and Øka from TransplanarRPG's Arc Four. Manaia is a half-orc with pointed ears and tusks, her coily hair is braided at the sides of her head and the rest falls on her face and side. Vee is an elf with long pointed ears and a tie, her hair is straight and shaved on one side and long on the other side. Dewey is a pigeon aarakocra with glasses and ruffled feathers. Øka is an aasimar with piercings and scars on their face, their hair is straight and short. End ID]

I realized I never actually posted these chibis I did when I was in a bit of an artblock.  I’ll probably finish out the party as I work on my catch-up (currently on ep3 of the arc4 SYOS series).  I, really love how the colors on Dewey turned out.

[2nd-mushroom-circle]

somebody talk to me about the chaos protocol i have too many feelings

[agaybloodhunter]

it’s been too long since i posted anything here, have some økain from the oc-mistletoe trend
