TTRPG by Trans Designers
For trans day of visibility, here are a few of my fave ttrpgs (and supplements) by openly trans+ designers.
Against the Odds by Helena Real
Heroic fantasy powered by the apocalypse (PBTA), AtO's thesis statement is "heroes don't kill if they want to remain heroes." There's a heavy emphasis on the personal costs of killing another person, which is refreshing in heroic fantasy.
Helena also wrote my favourite Fate game, Ngen Mapu!
Shadow/Giant by Luka Brave
One of my favourite duet games out there- and very reminiscent of Protect the Child, one of my favourite forged in the dark (FITD) games! Go figure.
One player takes on the role of a jaded adult, and the other the magical child they are learning to care for. It's asymmetrical, which means the two characters are mechanically very different, but it's nicely explained in the text.
Beam Saber by Avalyn Ramsey
Speaking of FITD...Beam Saber is the mecha game for this system! It's been out for a few years now so there are lots of cool additional playbooks and such too.
Avalyn has another FITD game in playtesting at the moment, Time Passes, so check it out and let her know what you think!
GIRL FRAME by Isabelle Ruebsaat
One of the most delightful, confronting and raw games of this past year. It's about the war machine reducing people to objects. It's about power imbalances and the cruelty that enables (and encourages.) It's also about lesbian sex & giant robots.
As time goes by, some things change, but some remain the same I redrew my old art to see how much things changed. Also you can read about Pticenoga and Shade here >:) This AU has been with me for years and I still enjoy every little piece of it ＼o／ (you can see the hat he's giving to her here)
Heroes face a generational threat, and the Immortal that will remember the fallen.
Time Passes V0.1 is now live! Time Passes is a TTRPG about fantasy Heroes dealing with a Nightmare so overwhelming that it will take generations to defeat. This is a game of grief at the absence of comrades and the need to move forward in spite of it.
This TTRPG is inspired by:
The Forged In The Dark game engine
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
Galactic 2E
The music video for Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt
Mothership
The End Is Always Near by Dan Carlin
Heroes will go on Adventures together to weaken the Pillars that support the Nightmare. When they've spent too many resources and can't Adventure any further, they can let Time Pass. 10-20 years pass and all non-Immortal Heroes get closer to aging out of heroics. Be prepared to play multiple Heroes!
