Did you mean pride at play? That was 2023 when we organised it. prideatplay.org would love to do it again.

For 2025 the person to ask is Stevie who made a list here: www.melbqueerttrpgs.com/queer-games

And yeah Port Play is great!

Yeah I was also surprised how well Port Play has been going for a brand new event!
There was also a queer indie games showcase (digital and analog) a year or more ago at a gallery??
@spaxe.space would have more info

I think there's also a lot of great games coming out of Aotearoa/NZ, particularly from Maori folk sharing their culture via play (4Phase Games, @takataapui.bsky.social )

it feels like we're hitting a snowball effect which is pretty exciting!

In Aus specifically we've seen a continued increase in Indie ttrpgs offered at PAX Aus and I feel a growing appetite for indies in the general player base.
I'm also seeing a rise in Aus APs, particularly with a few studios emerging with high, in-person production quality.
Plus more events, inc SXSW-

I am also running the "Folk Jam" throughout 2025 to collect folk stories from all over the world.

I want to hear about your stories, your traditions, the creatures that inhabit your cultures, the mysteries that haunt your folks.

10 - I tricked you, there's no 10th footnote. You're just reading this because you like reading, nerd. Go read one of my games instead.

Some are even free.

if you missed the crowdfund but want to pick up a physical edition of the game, there’s still time to late pledge on the backerkit campaign before fulfillment happens early next year www.backerkit.com/c/projects/j...
