How often do you include Queer people in your games /tg/? Would you be supporting one If finances isn't an issue?

Well, much like OP, I'm a fag, so by default...

>>96047332 (OP)
Will it be the muslim or jewish god they defy?

>>96047371
How's that working out for you?

>>96047684
Excellently done. Whether serious or sarcastic, a fantastically amusing response.

>>96047332 (OP)
They seem to have reach their goal, so i have no idea what this thread is about OP.
Is interesting that the main mechanic is that your character can become an enemy
>Gain more Epithets by giving your heart. However, your immortal pride may earn you Dooms that overwrite your Epithets—erasing your personality—and granting you dramatic, story-altering moves. When all your Epithets become Dooms, your adventurer has given themself over wholly to power. Their arc is over, for they have become a World Force in their own right—an NPC enemy.
Otherwise unremarkable overall.

Rarely, but they exist in my game worlds. I didn't count I just create an NPC in that way whenever I have an idea that fits, and the world reacts in a way logical to the setting and not modern day LA.
I do have an MtF at my table and she just plays female characters, most of the time.
>Would you be supporting one If finances isn't an issue?
What the fuck does this even mean?

PS: how does your post relate to your title?
This isn't just some culture war shit stirring, is it?

>>96047332 (OP)
It's all so tiresome.

>Ancient Egyptian? Mesopotamian? setting
>modern top surgery scars
I can't imagine a stranger way to try and virtue signal. Are we to believe this sword and sorcery setting has magic, but still relies on crude plastic surgery that leaves giant visible scars? They can literally just add magic or rituals or spirits that change people's sex. They can have whatever they want in their game and they chose grotesque vanity scars for FtM trannies.

What queer mechanics does it have?

>>96047332 (OP)
What are some ways to justify LGBTQ people/relationships being more accepted than they were in the historical period(s) fantasy settings tend to get based off of? If the setting has gods or some famous heroes that are Queer that's one way, but what are some other ways beyond what the Greeks and Romans did?

Also, leaving aside the Queer aspects, what do you think of this setting/system, is it worth checking out?

>>96047522
They have the same good.

>>96047332 (OP)
Why is this the tagline for everything now? They let fucking communist faggots adapt the fucking Odyssey and that was their tagline too, "Defy the Gods," which was like the exact opposite of the point of the story.

I'm convinced that when people say "Defy the Gods" what they mean is "I hate my dad," I will have no truck with this faggotry.

Less of a problem than the orc and elf fuckers, for one

>what do you think of this setting/system, is it worth checking out?
That's what I'd like to know. But considering it's another PBTA game, I doubt it'll do anything most anons here consider fun

>>96047332 (OP)
>How often do you include Queer people in your games /tg/?
Rarely to never. I don't care for roleplaying romance or sexuality. If I am DMing and a player wants to engage in that stuff, I just keep it superficial.

>Less of a problem than the orc and elf fuckers, for one
True, if there are multiple sapient races, a pairing of the same sex in the same race, or someone with a gender identity that doesn't match up with the body that they were born with, doesn't seem as noteworthy. Not to mention that if souls exist, and the way they/ghosts appear reflects a person's true self now that I think of it...

>>96054216
Precisely. Once you introduce fantastical elements into the mix, issues from irl might well not be seen as issues or even be solved. Transformation magic can probably make body dysphoria a non-issue, for one.

>>96054022
Vanishingly few settings are based on any historical period.

>>96054339
True, but then again, there's always going to be a jerk who discriminates against someone different.

>>96054715
I meant more in general terms, like how a lot of settings are based on a vague "medieval" time period.

>>96047709
Whatever it is it's infinitely better done than OP's faggery.
>>96048901
PS: Almost certainly the latter, more shit for the cesspool.

>>96047332 (OP)
Are there any comparable systems, either in terms of queer content or mechanically?

>>96047332 (OP)
>Would you be supporting one If finances isn't an issue?
Id support one if didn't know they were queer

Ie it had 0 to do with the game and wasnt part of the lore

>>96057301
How was 1e mechanically?

>>96060802
Fine, it was functional, only played it 2 or 3 times.

>>96054083
They might also be being political with it. Orange man bad and all of that.

But anti-authoritarianism become rather en vogue in rpgs. Maybe it always was: even in D&D the object was to go out and establish your own kingdom, not to become the local lord's top guy.

>the entire queer game is built around gathering homosexual epithets for your character

i am fucking dying holy shit

>True, but then again, there's always going to be a jerk who discriminates against someone different.

No doubt. But I guess the question is whether fantasy bigotry would eliminate the sort of racism we see irl. I kind of think it would, to a certain degree, although it would just be moving deck chairs. We already see it in porn where orc male and elf female has adopted a lot of the racial tropes from black male and white female.

>>96054022
the greeks just molested young boys all the time so by the time they were adults it was normal and they were hungry for their turn on boyflesh
and the romans made the greeks their schoolteachers when they conquered them

funny how that works, innit?

It's basically Conan but gay.
Just choose whatever version of Conan rpg you like the most and you would have a better experience.

My games always have at least one gay, (you) the player.

Gaynan the Buttbarian, written by a group of ugly middle aged men who dressed like they were expelled from clown college for sexually assaulting someone.
