Pride Month may officially be winding down, but that doesn’t mean the queer community stops celebrating. For many players, tabletop gaming has become their favorite space to experience and engage with their queer identity. With that has come a growing cohort of LGBT designers and, naturally, games with LGBT themes. While many may think of the big, dramatic games like Thirsty Sword Lesbians, one of the sleeper hits in this genre has been a game with…the name LGBT.

As Tabletop Improv Theater and Actual Plays continue to be a huge part of the tabletop space, creators and actors from all different industries have been making the jump behind the table. This week Samantha Béart makes a guest appearance on Darkest Whimsy, a fairly new kid on the block from GM Dan Defler aka Nerd Poker that features comedians Chelsea Pope, Laura Laham, Kyle Ayers, and Selena Price as its regular players.
