In building an entirely new world, there lies so much potential. Writers and game masters piece together their ideas of magic, technology, culture, geography - and every piece of their world shapes the player characters who live in it and the challenges they face on their adventures. These worlds are built from the ground up, and they could do or say anything about the complex concepts of gender, sexuality, and attraction - but so many of them don’t, opting for worlds that, in these regards, look nearly identical to ours.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Just as a fictional world might contain silicone-based lifeforms or food that grows in the palm of your hand, so too might it contain a species with three fluid sexes, a culture where each gender wears a different metal, or a place where sexual attraction to multiple genders is considered the default. This guide leads aspiring and experienced worldbuilders alike on a journey: to rethink the drawing board and build a world where nothing is assumed. To radically redefine and dismantle the norms of fiction and in doing so, creating better, more interesting stories. It will guide creators on a path to imagine how the fictional societies, cultures, and environments they craft engage with the personal questions of sex, gender, romance, and more - and how those ideas and norms shape the characters who live in them.
The zine includes:
- A guide to terminology
- Prompts for thoughtful worldbuilding
- Example cultures and characters from queer writers of varied backgrounds
- A system for using dice and cards to shape the process
- An abundance of queer joy and creativity
