The OSRS Pride 🌈 Zine is out!

I am so proud of this community 🫂 for pulling together in response to Jagex & Mod Norths COWARDLY decision to remove the Pride event this year.

Incredible output from so many talented people & I am charmed to see I know so many of you.

Pride 🌈 belongs in Gielinor.

ayyyy guess who made the cover art! Here I showcased the wide variety of players that I saw during my time at the priot in June and July, @renderscape.bsky.social's fashionscape contest, and the pride march.

Also now that it's November, happy Trans Awareness Month! ✨️🏳️‍⚧️

The zine is finally out!!! I wrote a piece for it titled ‘the priot’, if you wanna read that, along with everyone else’s beautiful art, and thoughtful words.

This is what community is about.

OSRS BlueSkyers 🦋, our good friend @sagemistress.bsky.social needs your 🫵 help.

If you have any footage 📽️ from the Priot in OldSchool RuneScape - the protest against Jagex' CEO Mod North, Jon Bellamy, for cancelling this year's Pride 🌈 event - please let Sage know.

Pride belongs in Gielinor 🌈.

I've decided I'm not really too interested in streaming nor do I really have the time for it at this point, but I do have a really good video idea that I wanna make and as far as I know no other #osrs #runescape creator has specifically covered this topic. That said, anyone have videos from priot?

absolutely wonderful community contribution. queers will always be a cornerstone of runescape's culture no matter how badly people like Mod North try to ignore that fact

So, it's July 1st & Pride 🌈 Month 🗓️ is over.
Jagex's Mod North refused to release the 2025 Pride 🌈 event into OSRS.

We, however, are not defeated.

Here's a thread 🧵 of how we are only stronger & will be bringing Pride forward with us all year round like a queer Scrooge.
Pride Belongs In Gielinor.

I'm working on an idea for the OSRS Zine Project @osrszine.bsky.social and I'm looking to ask a few members of the LGBTQ+ community to tell me their stories.

If you've got something, big or small let me know! I've done a fair bit of journalism IRL, so why not bring it to the streets of OSRS?

What does Pride in OSRS mean to you?

"I take pride in calling Gielinor a forever home-away-from-home," says Strixxline. "Pride in OSRS shows that Jagex takes pride in us too."

What does Pride in OSRS mean to you? Runescape was one of the very first communities where I began to discover myself as a kid, through adventures in a new world, fantastic stories that showed me I could be and do anything, and amazing friends and fellow adventurers I've met along the way. I take pride in calling Gielinor a forever home-away-from-home, just as I take pride in the person I've grown into after traveling through this world over so many years. This community shaped my queer journey in more ways than I can count, and I know I'm not alone in that experience. It's something we should all get to celebrate together as a community. Pride in OSRS shows that Jagex takes pride in us too. Deliberately throwing that celebration away washes us away right with it. - Strixxline To add your comment to the OSRS Pride Zine, visit osrs-zine.neocities.com

I wrote a poem inspired by the pride protests in Old School RuneScape. I'm so proud to be a part of this amazing community. Each and every one of you has such incredible strength and resolve. Going on 18 days and still no sign of slowing down! #OSRS #RuneScape #Pride #Poetry #LoveIsLove
"Love is Love," a RuneScape themed poem by SageMistress, in the style of an in-game scroll. Poem text: "From western lands where crystals shine To eastern wolves with bones in brine In desert heat, in northern cold Love is love, we all grow old Through Varrock’s streets, crosst bridge of Lum In Falador the spirits hum As druids pray and moles take sleep Love is love, yet Guthix weeps For still we struggle, still we fight Cannons fire day and night Simply ‘cause we dare to say Love is love, and that’s okay So gather ‘round across the land Karamjans, Fremmeniks, hand in hand Hear us now, we shout out loud Love is love and we are proud! ~ SageMistress"

It's very disappointing that there's no Pride event in OSRS this year. This video is a lovely way to revisit last year's event, and shows why many people were excited to see the story of the Glade being developed this year and in the future

Unsurprising, but truly disappointing.

No Pride 🌈 event in today's OSRS update, the last of the month, despite the longest in-game protest OSRS has ever seen.

Like a self-fulfilling prophecy Mod North made Pride 🌈 in OSRS "controversial in a way it didn’t used to be".

We won't forget.
