Longsword, Glock, Bat, Taser 2e coming to BackerKit
A whimsical TTRPG about going to Pride with your friends.
What is Longsword, Glock, Bat, Taser?
Longsword, Glock, Bat, Taser is a one-shot roleplaying game about attending Pride with your friends in a whimsical, comics-inspired universe.
With days remaining until your local celebration of queer identity, you'll face down all manner of problems, from mundane issues like car trouble or a band of teenagers who have sworn a solemn vow of enmity against you to supernatural forces like the ghost haunting your hotel room, a mythical starhorse with inscrutable intent, or worse: a league of one of your friends' evil exes. How do you face these problems?
Glad you asked reader: With poise, panache, and a really cool weapon aligned with your queer identity. A Longsword, Glock, Bat, or Taser, as a few common examples.

The new edition includes light modifications to its core d6 dice pool system, new character creation options, new adventure prompts to run for your friends, new art in an awesome new layout, and more!
