Imagine Queer Worlds (Zine)

A worldbuilding zine for the part of the setting bible that usually stays blank.

Imagine Queer Worlds is a modular worldbuilding supplement by Jaclyn Lewis and contributors. Players invent societies, cultures and environments, work out their norms around sex, gender and attraction, and then explore how those norms shape the characters who live there. This is the 26-page, full-colour, staple-bound zine, at a generous 8.5 x 11 inches.

The zine works across four realms: Bodies & Biology, Gender & Expression, Relationships & Attraction, and Sex & Sexuality. You choose prompts by rolling dice or drawing from a standard deck or a Rider-Waite tarot deck, and it includes definitions, example characters, further reading and citations. It scales to your group's size, appetite for detail and familiarity with the terminology, and pairs with the Imagine Queer Worlds card deck.

Please note: you will need dice, a deck of playing cards or a tarot deck to pick prompts.

Perfect for: Writers and GMs who suspect their invented cultures have been quietly borrowing the norms of a 1950s suburb.
