Queer Goblincore? Xena Warrior **** Worker? Hyena pack? Alien Eliot Page?

If any of those sound appealing, this book is for you. It's a wonderful extension to Thirsty Sword Lesbians, the must-have queer ttrpg. The most valuable part of the book are the new playbooks, which offer fun and useful new archetypes. To be honest, this is an expensive book and there doesn't seem to be a bundle discount, so I'd recommend coming back to this after you've played the original for a while. But if you want tons of setting and story ideas (some wild ones, including playing as a pack of hyenas!), then this book is for you. I really wasn't ready to spend the money on this, but what sold me was the Wasteland Roller Derby setting. As a derby lesbian, this is peak queer Rollerball-esque apocalypse for me. Like TSL, this is a beautifully bound and printed book, and you're buying the artwork and the queer vibes as much as, maybe more than, the game.
