Yep, that's exactly why my son says I have to play Demon's Souls first. Teenagers can be so picky some times. Kind of like everybody else.

I died a lot tonight while playing. A whole lot.

From the outside looking in, my guts tell me that the sooner, the better?

Though, you do mention zero experience and it makes me start to wonder about the few exceptionally short-term relationships I've had in the past, and if perhaps that was some sort of hint I wasn't picking up on about myself?


Well, I have zero experience with dating, but I'm not trans, rather Aspergic.


If there is something someone needs to know if they are to pursue a relationship with you and you with them, no matter if it is that you are trans, that you can't stand smoking, that you have some serious health issue, or whatever, it needs to come out quickly. Think of it as things you'd put in the specs for your dating account on a site. That said, considering how sad people can be regarding trans people, a little bit of caution is probably a good idea.

Or just play in offline mode so you don't have to deal with that nonsense :3

So without knowing the exacts of your transition and preferences, I'm assuming from context, you're translesbian or trans bi with lesbian preferences so since that's my area, I'll start.

Some cons have a queer get together, you should check local cons for some of that information and see what's going on there. Gaymer X is specifically an all queer con and there is a lot of mingling that happens there, including quite a lot of con nookie. as I'm to understand it. Becoming a regular at a local lesbian bar can have some benefits as people get to know you there. Be up front at the bar and make sure the owner knows you and knows about you and that it's ok. Some lesbians aren't terribly nice about trans women, especially when they are attracted to you, but they are kind of in the minority. Don't discount other transwomen. They know what you've been through and won't balk at you being trans at any other time. Sometimes you can meet people through activism and such. I met a woman online through a queer support group so that's a way as well. If you're in a big city, see if any of the local gaming stores have queer nights. Generally, it's best to let things kind of fall into place naturally if you can. Let someone ask you.

When you're dating, I would say that being honest about it sooner rather than later is important. You want the person to get to know you but you don't want to be too physically intimate until they are aware of your status, for safety reasons if nothing else. Trans Panic is still being accepted some places as reasons to turn murder into manslaughter. Things are better than they used to be but increased visibility lately has led to increased violence and resistance to the idea of us. So be careful. Talk to some of your straight women friends about how they protect themselves during first dates. Some women are more trusting than others but you'll probably have a few that have good ideas.

I've been out of the dating pool for awhile and I'm sure others will have more thoughts.

*Helpful awesome things*

Thank you so much for the advice! I definitely am trans-lesbian, and I certainly have no issue dating other trans girls, so that's exactly the kind of help I'm looking for! I actually was already thinking about going to Gaymercon this year as my reward for finally finishing my BA. I need to do research into local lesbian bars and ways to get more involved in activism. I really want to engage in the latter because I have such a great support network right now and have had so much positivity in my coming-out that I feel like the least I could do is give back.

My instincts about bringing up that I'm trans align with what you're saying, so I'm glad to hear that. It is very scary, partly just because as someone who presented as a 6' 2" cis white male, I never had to deal with issues of harassment or safety, and I feel so unequipped for it now. It's humbling and incredibly eye-opening, even as someone who intellectually knew that women (and trans women even more so) had to deal with such terribleness. California (where I live) doesn't allow trans-panic defenses, so that's something.

Who here has made trans characters and what has your experience been playing them? I would love to hear their stories, too!

I'd love to play one myself... I may do so in PFS at some point. ^_^

I want my Reign of Winter character to transition, both because I built "him" before I came out and because the circumstances are increasingly perfect due to in-character events.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of disapproval of the idea coming from the GM (the other players have no inkling yet). :/

A few of my characters are trans men. It's definitely something I keep returning to thematically.

My -10 human trans-man bard is at L5 (with two more scenarios at 1/2 speed at L5 -- Shades of Winter 2, 3).

Initially made him as a bit of a response because someone said there wasn't a lot of 'transitioning to male' characters and I took that as a bit of a challenge.

Rae Alain Paight was raised by a Taldan noble family, but being *poor* nobles and really wanting a son, they did the 'cheap' method of encouraging and supporting his explorations into 'being their son' without any of the magic/herbs/things.

Rae became a very well-spoken bardic sort, well-learned as he's been trying to find some way to 'make himself right'.

It's why he became a bard, why he works for the Society, and why he's in Liberty's Edge, because freedom of a person is important, as long as it doesn't mess things up with too much freedom.

During his second mission with the Society

Spoiler:
From Under Ice(playing up)
he ended up being the MVP of the fight inside the facility (Certain things other exceptionally combat-oriented characters had were shut down completely by the opponent). Also of note was the very fun social interaction with the guide from that scenario, as both Rae and said guide were very keen on 'keeping distance from each other' for Reasons.
Spoiler:
Guide was under a glamour, Rae likes having 'personal space', Rae assumed guide was *just like him* so the reveal was.. entertaining.

During a particular mission to Varisia

Spoiler:
The Night March of Kalkamedes
he hit it off REALLY well with a certain NPC, and currently he's saving his coin as much as possible to 'liberate' the NPC in question.
Spoiler:
Gamin the Misforged, he views himself as the 'human' version of Gamin, part of why they get along.

About the only 'downer' scenario/module was The Feast of Ravenmoor.

It was the first module I'd played at a convention, and trying to implement Rae's situation at a convention table when you're on a timetable isn't good, plus the GM wasn't comfortable with it or the concept of any male player playing a female character (We had two female characters, and Rae who identifies as male at the table).

As a result, the GM started referring to my character as 'the bard', the aasimar as 'the paladin' and the half-orc as 'the rogue'.

While the rules are in place that Rae could 'free of charge' transition between scenarios, from an in-play perspective he's not comfortable with the idea of doing that quite yet, as he's worried that it might change something about him and leave him in a worse boat.

I like playing him and I hope he gets the chance to play more soon.

I'm nervous about playing a trans-woman character based on some of the bumps I've had with Rae, though.

EDIT: Shardra is my go-to pregen unless I forget to bring a proper level version of her along.

@Kalindlara My trans character is in PFS, so make one and we can hopefully play sometime! That's so terrible that you have a good story opportunity to transition and your GM is being so antagonist to the idea D: I had a friend tell me that it was "too serious of a subject for a game," so I made her so incredibly serious that it's funny (think samurai mixed with Lin Beifong from Legend of Korra), then dropped her into the next one of his PFS games I got into -_^

@RadiantSophia Nice! Any interesting stories?

@Wei Ji That's cool! I'm glad your experience has been mostly positive. It sucks that you had to get a subpar Feast of Ravenmoor, though :/

Also, good on you for taking up the challenge! Trans men are so invisible in general, so I'm glad to hear people are taking up the challenge!

@mechapoet one of the campaign leader (John Compton I think) said on a forum post you can freely change transition between scenarios because it's a non-mechanical part of your character

My RotRL character, Il'setsya Wyrmtouched [CN Female (MtF) tiefling blood arcanist (protean) 15] is trans, but it's largely an element of her backstory coupled with magical transformation (in which her sex was frankly a minor part). The circumstances of her transition and the costs and obligations it imposed on her afterwords heavily inform her actions and her approach to life (which is to live in the moment, make up for lost time, and go as over the top in virtually everything at all).

Since her natal sex hasn't ever come up, I can't speak to that, and her past history has been purposefully nebulous when the other PCs have asked. She's slowly revealed elements of it over time as she's grown to know and trust them, and at some point she may or may not actually let them know her full story (what she's aware of anyway). An artifact was involved, also proteans.

Excerpt from her backstory:

"It’s nothing much to see from afar really: a long, low and weathered block of black stone at the center of a paved courtyard surrounded on all sides by adjacent buildings and always with one street in and one street out. It moves you see, meandering like a living thing among the tenements and hovels, shops and factories, slums and mansions of the Outer Ring. Curiously enough no building will ever place a door or window in view of the Wall, not even a crack in the stone giving the tiniest of insects purchase and perch to observe. Storytellers say that the Wall is cursed, haunted, and a place to be avoided lest the frozen, ever watchful eyes of the Seven fall upon you and chance turn against you in a downward spiral of fatal probability.

Storytellers say many things. Some of them might even be true.

None can really identify what composes the Wall, though it appears carved by hand with the simplest of tools or even with tooth and claw. Again, none can say which. But what composes the Wall isn’t the most striking feature, no, that would be the names carved across it – the names of those who do not exist. Written in every language from across the planes and hundreds more that no scholar can even identify, much less pronounce without magical aid, the names are Galisemni’s greatest mystery. Carved by hand, by tool, by blade and by spell they sprawl across it like prayers to a god of graffiti, desperately seeking purchase and place, crowding one another for just enough room to find completion, and yet if you felt so inclined, you can always find room to write another. According to those same storytellers the Wall grows just as Galisemni grows to accommodate its citizens, though other bards speculate that the Wall grows not to accommodate, but that it grows as it feeds, growing with each name penned, accepted, and devoured.

There are two hundred and twenty three thousand, five hundred and ninety seven names upon the Wall, and one of them is mine.

Bards and scholars alike repeat the same story after enough drink or enough money: every name upon the Wall was written there by a person that no longer exists, in a manner of speaking. Those who approach the Wall, the desperate, the haunted, the suicidal, the martyrs, the willing – those who write their name and give themselves to the Wall are granted their greatest and most profound wish.

But this is not a gift.

The Wall gives and the Wall devours.

It takes your name, it takes your memories, it takes the memories of every person that ever knew you, and every material record that you ever lived and breathed ceases to exist. History is rewritten or remembered anew so that for any action of consequence that you ever performed the continuity of history no longer requires or contains a trace of your hand. For all intents and purposes, except for the fact that you are there with your hands upon the Wall, you have never existed prior to that moment. An alien name stares back at you, and while you remember your skills and anything you might have learned as a trade or profession, your brain is devoid of any memories that provide any purchase to the you that was. That person no longer exists, but you are free, you are born anew, and your greatest wish is granted, not that you remember it or anyone associated with it, nor is it necessarily what you had in mind when you fed yourself to the artifact that broods, hungers, and weeps for you. A new name finds its place among its kindred, and you are left to find your way in the Drifting City for whatever good or ill the future brings.

My name is there upon the Wall, not that I should be aware of this. The Wall consumed my past and every memory of myself prior to that point in time, but for the fact that it allowed me to know –why– and what I did to satiate it. I know how I draw the gaze of the Seven and why since then I have felt the immaterial tide of history and circumstance tug upon me, nudging me towards places and times, people and events where something will happen, something of consequence, somewhere that I will serve the Seven, somehow willingly or not I suspect.

My name was not Il’setsya. My last name or title was not The Wyrm-Touched. My nickname -whispered affectionately in bed by a beautiful, brilliant woman- was never ‘crazy-hooves’. I was not a whimsical, carefree tiefling woman of dubious and apparently ever-so-protean-touched descent.

But this is what I am now.

Whatever I was before, now I am happy.

There is more of course, but that’s for another time I think. I’ve given you lot a bit to digest, and you probably suspect that half of it is some mental delirium from the protean-blood running hot and fast in my veins. I have many, many stories more, and in time I’ll share them."

Honestly, I can't think of a time in the last 25 years where my character's sexuality or cis-status (I can't think of the proper term right now) ever came into play. I so rarely consider that part of them that it would probably be easy to assume all my characters are cis and asexual.


2 people marked this as a favorite.

I'm cis and straight (mostly), but I play female PCs about half the time. I've played gay and lesbian PCs as well. In my gaming circles, in-game sexuality doesn't often come up.

The closest I've come to playing a trans character was a long time ago, in a GURPS Fantasy campaign. The character was inspired by Marion Zimmer Bradley's character Lythande the Star-Browed from the late-'70s shared-world anthology Thieves' World. She was a lesbian who was pretending to be a man, and if her secret got out, would lose her magical power.

Honestly, back in the early 1990s when I played the character, I really didn't know much about trans people or issues, so playing the character as trans didn't really cross my mind.

If it nudges you one way or the other: We're trying to formalize a schedule of meetup/safe space times at GaymerX/GaymerCon this year to make it easier for folks to socialize in a safe space of folks they share an identity with. Previously, these spaces had to be pitched to be part of our programming. So we'll hopefully have a few times that work for everyone looking to meet other folks they share an identity with in a safe space. That said, the entire Con has a reputation for having a very friendly and inclusive atmosphere with plenty of chances to meet new folks.

I can neither confirm nor deny any official levels of con nookie. <.< >.>

I'll also note, volunteering is a great way to meet folks/network/etc. But I'm super biased as I help run said program :D.

I once played a gay female air genasi cleric of Shaundakul in a 3.0 game, but her sexuality only came up once tangentially. A couple of my many characters in Morrowind were gay, but obviously that wasn't referenced at all. Other than that, our group doesn't tend to deal with "personal lives" at all, unless as a side-story (at best).

Liberty's Edge

I'm male, cisgender, and straight (well, technically demisexual), but I've played a lot of characters with sexualities other than my own, and occasionally female characters.

I've never played a trans character because I never felt like I could do them justice, not having any gut-level idea what that's like. That's probably irrational to some degree (I've played characters who've had all sorts of experiences I haven't), but I've never quite been able to shake the feeling. Which would make playing a trans character feel weird and probably be less fun for me specifically.

I've definitely included trans NPCs when developing settings as a GM, though.


I'm currently playing a female to intersex, genderfluid half-elf vigilante/monk in a friend's homegame loosely based off scourge of the slave lords. The party really isn't sure how to take them, especially as no one has caught onto their dual identity just yet, but I have noticed that a few of them have started exploring non-binary gender identities in their characters since then in other campaigns we play.

Wow! Lots of posts.

I'm glad to see that people are exploring lots of LGBTQ+ identities in the game! As one of my side goals with my many, many characters, I've been trying to give them as many different genders and sexualities as possible, both to challenge myself and to add a bit more diversity. Depending on the character's personality, it may never come up, but it does inform characterization for me. I also just like having as complete a picture of my characters as possible.

Here's short descriptions of all my characters that are queer in some way:

Spoilered for Length:

Alexius Angelos, Paladin of Iomedae/9
Bisexual biromantic cis male half-elf
He's a very private and serious person by nature, and suspicious of everyone and completely jaded on people, so he never initiates relationships on his own. He really doesn't care on way or the other what other people think of him.

Reiji Nakami, Undefeated of the East (magus [bladebound, kensai)/11)
Asexual heteroromantic cis male tengu
He's a tribute to shonen anime heroes, so he's hot-blooded and passionate, but not really sexualized in any way, and he doesn't see the appeal of sex.

Avelina of Mendev, Curseless Oracle of Iomedae Sorceress (imperious bloodline)/5, Evangelist of Iomedae/6
Homosexual panromantic cis female human
She is the very definition of a hopeless romantic, and she is actually in-love with Iomedae. Romance is more important to her than anything.

Psycho Mantis, Psychic (lore discipline)/10
Militantly asexual (essentially antisexual) aromantic and agender human
Yep, he's THAT Psycho Mantis. I took cues from his characterization and made him super, super anti-sexual because it is funnier.

Valais, Unfettered Eidolon
Demisexual homoromantic cis female former human
She's a retiring, shy, intellectual young woman who tends to have unrequited crushes on close female friends.

Serpent Shogun, bard (arcane duelist)/8, cavalier (order of the cockatrice)/1
Heterosexual aromantic cis male nagaji
He's Cobra Commander (largely based on his Robot Chicken iteration). He's sexist and I couldn'tsee him having romantic feelings for anyone.

Ginko Nakami, Heavens Spirit Shaman (animist, speaker for the past)/3
Homosexual homoromantic cis male tengu
He's in his sixties, and was living happily with his partner back in Tian-Xia, until recently when he died. He's since came to the west to see his nephew (my magus, and his only remaining family) so that he would not have to be alone. He's still in-mourning.

Artoria Pendragon, Paladin (chosen one)/4, Oracle of Nature/1
Pansexual panromantic agender human
The reincarnated King Arthur, except as a woman. Essentially Saber from Fate/Stay Night with a bunch of other King Arthur elements thrown in.

Dulcinea de la Mancha, Paladin of Shelyn/1
Pansexual panromantic cis female human
Think a courtly Spanish knight who flirts with everyone.

Ayo of the Radiant Eyes, Inquisitor of Shizuru/1
Homosexual homoromantic trans female aasimar
She's a Tien-Min aasimar who bears a striking resemblance to Iomedae (who she might actually be distantly decended from). Everyone telling her that she looked like this Western warrior goddess was always a point of comfort for her, so when she was thrown out of her parents home for coming out as trans, she adapted it to be her name, Ayo Midai. She's a retainer of my character Avelina, and she's working with the Sovereign Court to get a noble title so she can propose to her.

That would be awesome, Kali! I'm in Socal if you ever come by that way. I also play online in PbPs here all the time :)

I played in a PbP with Avelina once! I was playing Meg, paladin of Shelyn, who goes out of her way to compliment people with pretty clothes. That was a great time! :D

Ah! I remember that!

Meg was the first character in PFS to ever play-into her romantic fantasy of having a lady knight protect her, so she and I had a great time as well <3

Incidentally, Avelina is a special character to me, as playing her was what really put me over the edge on deciding I needed to come out and transition. When I was playing her in F2F games, I could do all the things I could never do, that I would never allow myself to do. She could move and talk in the ways that I wanted to. She essentially became just an over-the-top parodic version of myself, the real me. Playing her was the first time I had ever felt completely relaxed that I can remember.

I ended up remaking her for Wrath of the Righteous, and I couldn't be having a better time :D

That's so great to hear! Honestly, though, who doesn't fantasize about being protected by gay lady knights?

I hadn't until the idea had been brought up just now?

It has merits and strengths, and could lead to a whole level of amazing awesome depending on characters involved, yesyesyes.

I may...uh...think about such things...uh...constantly. I have this page bookmarked...and I have pictures of them all over my desktop and phone...and my phone case...and I share photos of them all the time on facebook...and all my friends and acquaintances think of my ad "that girl that loves women in armor...."

Like I said, Avelina is me :3

Hrothdane,

Friend of mine from my VTT group had this Repair Her Armor that might be worth looking at as well?

I did, for a time. But then that would head into more lurid areas that I will not detail here.

"How beautiful! How glorious! How valorous! How beauteous! People here are quite the delight. Clearly, they have have outstanding taste and a proper understanding of romance. I cannot even begin to tell you how many people do not give such matters the, um, proper respect they deserve, yes. Certainly, it is entirely a pure love with no traces of lust. Absolutely so."

"Completely."

Her gaze wanders off into the distance. She cradles her face and sighs.

"I, um, think I should go kill some demons as well."

"A lot of them."


Although I feel I am really bad at making different voices for npc's and doesn't have to be scared of making voices.

I am starting a new play by post as GM and waiting for people to respond for recuritment can be hard.

Sorry to keep going back to Dark Souls, but I recently found out there is a Kickstarter for a board game of it.

Which means iconic Dark Souls minis! I hope Gwyndolin and Priscilla are added as stretch goals.

Must find more time for Demon Souls/Dark Souls this weekend.

I am a cis gendered, straight male, father of four, who is not sexually active any more due to complications of my health

and, oh yeah, do I fantasize about being protected by gay lady knights*

*even though there is a real good possibility I do not really know what "gay lady knights" means...

I assume it means lesbians in armour who are really good at killing things. :)

Our WoTR game basically boiled down to the lesbian paladin and the lesbian fallen paladin trying to out-protect each other, along with the curious sorcerer ^w^

*sigh*

I miss that game.
