This is a game about being trans and becoming a lich.

In this game, you play trans characters in dystopian Britain,  50 years in the future.  You have been trapped at the bottom of a waiting list for vital gender affirming healthcare.

You may already have been there for years, or you may have just recently joined the list. Either way, the list is far longer than the average mortal lifespan.

As a result you have decided to pursue lichdom. Over the course of the game you will gather all the components for the ritual necessary to become an undead creature of great arcane power, at which point you may either transform yourselves however you choose, or wait out the waiting list in your new immortal bodies- you have all the time in the world. 

Give this game a try if you like dystopian settings, collaborative world-building and play,  magic wielding queer characters,  interesting and individualistic ways of spellcasting, and undeath as a metaphor for... something.

The game download includes the basic rules, rollable tables for determining scenes and challenges, a guide to character creation,  and setting information.  It also includes a printout pdf which contains character sheets and a handout to help you build the setting. This is a ttrpg built for two or more players, and designed to be played in one or two sittings, although it can certainly be replayed with new characters and scenarios.  You will need a loose pile of six sided dice, pen and paper, and the willingness to listen to and support your trans friends.  You do not need to be trans to play this game but you do need to not be a transphobe or a Tory.  

Content note: this game contains discussions of the difficulties surrounding trans healthcare, which may be a sensitive topic. 

Initially written for the Queer Undead Jam
