#ChristopherStreetDay

1 post1 participant0 posts today

So, quite a bit of gaming happened in the last weeks and I really wanted to talk about it more on here.

Let's start with #VivaLaQueerBar, a #DescendedFromTheQueen game by @plotbunnygames. When I went to visit my #Monsterhearts group, we didn't intend to actually play any rpgs that Saturday. Unfortunately, public transport is kind of a clusterfluffle right now, so when we left at 9 in the evening, we spent about four hours getting home, with a "fun" mixture of trains, trams, busses and platforms. Luckily, I was traveling with two great friends and had the small Viva La Queerbar booklet with me.

When the conversation died down, I slapped the little booklet on the ICE table, they downloaded an app for drawing from a virtual deck of cards and we imagined ourselves in a better world, where the onboard restaurant of the (punctual!) high-speed train between Berlin and Cologne is actually a well-known #queer café, beloved by the revelers returning home after #ChristopherStreetDay parades. Conductor Max (close to retirement age, still looks dashing in a uniform, impressive mustache) keeps an eye on the café and cook Rita (pink highlights in grey hair) is always there to patch up celebrants who just *maybe* have overdone it a little.

We didn't play for very long, but I felt like imagining ourselves in that space definitely helped us get through the mix of annoyance and boredom that usually accompanies travel with late departures, cancelled trains and other problems.

Rechte Drohgebärden gegen Christopher Street Days in Sachsen

CSDs ermöglichen queeren Menschen auch in kleineren Orten, sich und ihre Anliegen in der Öffentlichkeit zu zeigen. Doch in Ostdeutschland machen Rechtsextreme immer stärker Stimmung gegen sie. Von N. von der Weiden.
