They Came to Slay: The Queer Culture of DnD

By (author) Thom James Carter

Queer people have always played Dungeons & Dragons, but since the mid-2010s, the queer dice-rolling magic- and might-wielding contingent have been taking up more space. They Came to Slay investigates just how the game became such a powerful mechanic for queer people to examine, explore, and come to terms with who they are, and how they want to lead their lives in real and imagined worlds alike.
