I don't think this jam is the place to learn about queer games, to be honest. If you want to learn about those, I'd encourage you to go check out games and do the work on your own. We are getting together to create community together, not necessarily to teach others about LGBTQ+ things

The spirit of this game jam is for queer folks to make games together. I am not going to kick someone out based on their sexuality or gender identity, but I would be curious why someone who is straight and cisgender would be interested in joining. 

Oh hi there! My name is Eric (he/they), and I am a budding game designer, with my first full game having gone up only a few days ago from the Queer Game Jam! 

For this jam, with the blessing of our host, I am finishing up a project that's been on and off for me for a little bit. The Final Queers is a PbtA queer slasher inspired game, which will have 10 playbooks, a full setting and several adventure modules to run. It will have rules for one-shots, short campaigns, and longer campaigns. Pulling from games like MASKS, Monster of the Week, and Burning Hearts Forever, I'm really excited to push this game to the finish line! 

Thanks for saying this!!! I'm so excited to have SUCH a crew of talented people all working on games together! 

Good time zone game jam friends! 

It's day one of the Queer Game Jam!! So excited to see over 50 people signed up for this adventure. If you haven't already, you should join us over in the Discord Server we made for this jam. About half of us are there already, and it's been a great space to get to know one another, and for us to support each others projects! 

If you have any questions over the next month, please do not hesitate to reach out, either on here, or shoot me a message on Discord: FalconWizard. 

Thanks!

Truly loved playing this game. Character creation was such a fun and different take on the process. The mechanics flow nicely and feel intuitive. It leaves so much room open for people to really have whatever kind of experience they want to have in the game. Five stars. 10 out of 10. Thank you, Sahoni! 

Ran this game recently with some friends (all of us "forever DMs"), and we had an absolute riot with this game. It was drama on the high seas, being attacked by a malicious seagull, and trying to score our booty. Definitely would recommend this! 

Genuinely had such a good time playing this game! Ran the included intro adventure, and everyone had a blast. The mechanics are fun and interesting. Five stars. Highly recommend!
