Heya Everyone, new Mega time and for it, I'm gonna advertise a TTRPG system called Thirsty Sword Lesbians.
A sword duel can end in kissing, a witch can gain her power by helping others find love, and an entire campaign can be built around wandering matchmakers flying from system to system.
Thirsty Sword Lesbians is a roleplaying game for telling queer stories with friends. If you love angsty disaster lesbians with swords, you have come to the right place.
In this book, youโll find:
Flirting, sword-fighting, and zingers in a system designed for both narrative drama and player safety.
An innovative take on the Powered by the Apocalypse family of games.
Nine character types, each focusing on a particular emotional conflict: Beast, Chosen, Devoted, Infamous, Nature Witch, Scoundrel, Seeker, Spooky Witch, and Trickster.
Guidance and support for running the game, including how to make appealing adversaries, set the tone, pace the game, and structure play.
Tools to create your own settings and stories, alongside a dozen pre-written options including the cyberpunk Neon City 2099, steamfunk poets battling oppression as Les Violettes Dangereuses, laser swords and intrigue in the Starcross Galaxy, and more.
World building worksheet for custom scenarios and starting scenario seeds to play with: Best Day of Their Lives, The Constellation Festival, Gal Paladins, and Sword Lesbians of the Three Houses Variant rules to highlight different identities, emotional connections, and setting elements.
Strategies to adapt any setting where swords cross and hearts race for Thirsty Sword Lesbians.
Here's a link to their website, I did copy everything over directly from it because I put off writing the Mega this week. I was drawing a blank on what I wanted to talk about.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

What fictional character made you go "oh hmm hang on I'm not cis maybe"? For me it was Kris Deltarune. I saw them eating moss and being nonbinary and I was like. Hmm. Yes. I can get behind that
You saw them eating moss so you picked moss as a username
Loran and Tieria, both from gundam
extremely gender
Sheik, Ocarina of Time
Jaye Davidson as Ra was gender as fuck.
lol, i literally think of Kris whenever i read "Moss [they/them]". I'm glad it came from exactly where I thought it did
I didn't have a single character that was like a lightbulb moment for me, but I can definitely look back at some and definitely see signs...
When I was really young, Tifa and Yuffie from FF7 and Lina and Amelia from the anime Slayers were all characters that I definitely Wanted To Be.
I think the first character who I had Gender feelings about was Titania from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (and to a lesser extent Jill), and I ended up having similar feelings about Leona, Sejuani, and especially Vi from League of Legends later on.
When I finally figured out that I'm trans, Kim Pine from Scott Pilgrim was like my favourite character (and my friends actively said I was "basically just Kim Pine") and I think my pfp on the forum where it all actually clicked for me was Bastet as depicted in the moba SMITE.
...s'pose that's maybe more than what you asked for, but oh well
Cloud crossdressing in FF7 and my obsession with making sure he was as pretty as possible were big early tells that nonetheless didn't register until decades later
