LESBIANS BUILT THIS FARM
LESBIANS BUILT THIS FARM is a gmless table top role-playing game about queer joy and resistance for 2-4 players, written by che for the TRANS JOY JAM.
this is a game about the places we build and the things we need to build them. it uses a simple two-part system which ties a joyful "no dice no masters"-style homelife to the grueling game of odds and effort that is ""being queer in the work place."" when I first shared it with my girlfriend she said "wow, you really hate your day job, huh?"
WHAT'S HERE?
this pdf contains all the rules you need to play this game, including four playbooks. if you'd like, any of the playbooks from stargazersasha's girlfriend of my girlfriend is my friend should also be (mostly) compatible.
this is a text-only pdf. I may return and do layout or art for it at some point, but this was written for a jam which (as of writing) closes in just under five hours. so this is what's here.

fuck yes che, this fucking rules. i did cry reading the fourth playbook!!!! wowow this is beautiful. the way the list of jobs is written and positioned is an incredible angle to impose upon the structure of the game i think. i also really like the way that some of the playbook options are more surreal than others!! the flavor of this game is so cool and cute and joyful, you did such a good job establishing mood + emotional boundaries for your game to take place in.
i know i'm gonna come back and have more thoughts to add later but for now, fantastic work, it's such an honor to see such a beautiful thing inspired by something i made, & of course, thank you so much for participating in the joy jam!!
xx
💜💜💜 thank you so much for running it, and for girlfriends, and for everything
It's beautiful. And it hits very close to the heart.
We had sort of a farm... Or somewhat and idea for a farm. And the great machine won't let us have it. Some abandoned ship and some of us pay high costs (emotionally, psychically) and to many souls were sucked in to the void.
But i gotta believe it will be a place for us. Thanks
