So Many Changes I Skipped a Version Number

Thirsty Sword Lesbians
A downloadable roleplaying game

Version 0.4 is here, with streamlined moves, more dynamic playbooks, and tons of GM advice and examples of play. The two existing scenarios have been updated and folded into the main rules document, and I've added a brand-new scenario as well. Plus, guidance on creating a world suitable for Thirsty Sword Lesbians and tailoring the game to your setting.

I was very excited when someone pointed out that running, say, Highlander, using Thirsty Sword Lesbians would basically result in a slashfic story. You can feed the premise of a lot of existing media into TSL and it'll make them gay and add sword-fighting melodrama, and that's fantastic. I also put in some weird variants just as ideas to prompt creativity, like Queen Takes Queen, the game of Thirsty Chess Lesbians.

Finally, that new scenario I mentioned was inspired by seeing all the delightfully gay fanart of the Fire Emblem: Three Houses game. Having not played the game, I wrote a scenario based just on what I inferred from the fanart.

Please enjoy the latest, and continue to send me stories of your adventures!
