These are the talking points:

1. What has been a positive representation of queerness in a TTRPG that you’ve played?

2. What suggestions do you have for GM’s who are not LGBTQ who wish to introduce queer themes and representation into their games?

3. A queer person has been introduced as a character in your favorite DnD stream/podcast. You check the comments and you see Dudebro ask “why are we making this political?

4. Do you consider the exclusion, or policing of cishet men at your table a double standard? And what do you say to this group when they retaliate with something like “well I guess it’s wrong to be a straight man in modern society….”

5. Are there games you’ve played or run that highlight LGBTQ+ characters/themes/etc.?

6. What measures do you have in place for when someone violates the expectations of the table, especially if you’re playing a game at a convention or game store?

7. Has D&D or other role-playing games helped you to find yourself?

8. How can we as a community, make the table, welcoming for LGBTQIA + players?
