Queer Gaymes: A Collection Of Games By Queer People About Queer Experiences

An anthology of analog games (tabletop role playing games and live action role playing games) written by queer people about queer experiences. What's inside by Jacqueline Bryk A fantastic essay on disability and queerness by Brie Sheldon "Out," by Tobi Abad, a narrative, scene-based game where players deal with their sexuality in terms of other life events. "Becoming Ourselves" by Willow Palecek, a two person game about transitioning and cisgendered allies. It's also unique in that it encourages cis players to play a transgendered protagonist character, and trans players to take the role of the cis ally. Julia Ellingboe's phenomenal essay on beauty standards "Glitter Pits" by Kat Jones, a card based game about actively challenging and changing western beauty standards "Comfort and Warmth" by Adam McConnaughey, in which queer youth and vampires go camping together. Sometimes they're the same people. "The Kiss of Walt Whitman Still On My Lips" by Taylor LaBresh. A game about magical artifacts and queer romance in the Reconstruction Era. Scout Munroe's brilliant essay on the nonbinary experience. "Mx. Universe" by Stephanie Bryant and Tobias Strauss. A LARP about gender presentation, beauty, and nonstandard fashion. Also has some elements of ball culture. My personal favorite.
