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?

Queercoded for 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons.

Queerfinder for Pathfinder 2nd edition.,

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.

Oh yeah shit this thing that I contributed to came out. It’s pretty cool! It’s all about various little traditions and tidbits that you might find in the canon setting of Golarion. I wrote the article on the Parrrty Barrrge! Plus, it’s got a bunch of cool stories and a crossword in it. So if you wanna help support some really cool queer folks, grab it on PFI.

A project that supports indie creators!

All profits from your purchase go directly toward enabling us to produce future issues of Queerfinder and we hope to make our content bigger and better as we go. For our inaugural issue, all art was commissioned at artists' commercial rates and all writing was paid upfront at 15 cents a word in our mission to pay the creative community livable wages in the hopes that they can eventually pursue their passion full-time, delivering more and higher quality content for us all to enjoy. If the project becomes a Platinum Bestseller, we will break even on the costs of this issue and be able to start royalty share payments to our contributors as well, helping create a long-term income stream for them!

Saw a cool drawing of Ronan Lynch from The Raven Cycle and went ‘eh, fuck it’ and searched him and apparently the dumb fuck is canonically in love with Adam and it wasn’t my imagination even though I’ve only read book one

I was reading the book like ‘huh what few emotions Ronan is capable of seem to be centered around his dad’s death and Adam and that’s a little suss but I’m probably just reading too much into it because I’m always looking for queer rep’ only to find out I was right all along and I just wanna say that this has happened often enough that I’m declaring myself the fiction queerfinder

Once a week the crew meets up to play card games. Anders wins a card, Fenris takes issue.

The game in question is called The Voting Game and I can personally vouch it is the tits if you've got a group of friends that are either very new or have known everyone forever.
