Cast A Queer Spell
A downloadable game
Cast A Queer Spell is a journaling game about growing up weird in a wizard community that believes everyone is normal. Be born, get sorted using "completely accurate" manatyping, learn magic, cast spells, grow up, face the consequences. Wizards don't know everything.
Depending on how fast you write, can be played in less than a half hour. Requires writing implement and six sided dice. Can be played solo or with other players around a table or online.
Content Warning: The game starts with you being born and then being assigned a magical style that is a metaphor in many ways for gender, often incorrectly. It can be hard, triggering, and emotional. It's about that being done to your character and then growing up coping with it.

took me about 3ish hours because i wrote a LOT more than was required, but this game was really beautiful. im glad its designed to be playable solo, otherwise i would have missed out :)
my dice rolls got lucky and i ended up with a character weirdly similar to my own experience which was funny, and i really love how at the end of the game you have to think of positive things to counter all the pain youve accumulated, i feel like it really encouraged me to look for points of healing in my own life that i may have overlooked. 10/10! would recommend if you like dnd and queer wizards
