Round 1, Match 1: Jack/Sumarbrander vs. Sword of the Creator
Jack/Sumarbrander
From: Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard
Wielder: Magnus Chase
Said to be the sharpest sword in the Nine Worlds, can turn into a pendant. He can talk, and does so often, often singing Katy Perry as a means of torture to those around him. He also flirts with other weapons, including Riptide. He can open portals to the Nine Worlds. Accomplishments include “cockblocking a god,” dating a hot spear, and having the entire cast album of Jersey Boys memorized.
Sword of the Creator
From: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Wielder: Byleth
This sword was forged from the spine of a dragon, and its segmented blade allows it to be used like a whip. It is said to be a gift to humanity by the Goddess. This sword also appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as Byleth’s main weapon.

Trans made TTRPGs
Due to… recent events that I would rather not talk about, today's post is a highlight of different tabletop games made by trans peeps! These games are fantastic in their own right, of course, but you can also know that they were made by incredibly cool and attractive people
(Also, these are flyover descs of the game, they'll get more in-depth singular posts later, this is because I am lazy)
Perfect Draw is a phenomenal card game TTRPG that was funded in less than a day on backerkit, it's incredibly fun and has simple to learn hard to master rules for creating custom cards, go check it out!
Songs for the dusk is fucking good, pardon my language, but it's a damn good post apocalyptic game about building community in a post-capitalist-post-apocalypse-post-whatever world. do yourself a favor and if you only check out one game in this list, check this one out, its a beautiful game.
Flying Circus is set in a WW1 inspired fantasy setting full of witches, weird eldritch fish people (who are chill as hell), cults, dead nobility, and other such things. It's inspired by Porco Rosso primarily but it has other touchstones.
Wanderhome is a game about being cute little guys going on a silly adventure and growing as the seasons change, its GMless and very fun
https://weregazelle.itch.io/armour-astir
Armour Astir has been featured in here before but its so damn good I had to post it twice. AA demonstrates a fundamental knowledge of the themes of mech shows in a way that very few other games show, its awesome
Kitchen Knightmares is… more of a LARP but its still really dang cool, its about being a knight serving people in a restaurant, its played using discord so its incredibly accessible
https://grimogre.itch.io/michtim
Michtim is a game about being small critters protecting their forest from nasty people who wish to harm it, not via brutal violence (sadly) but via friendship and understanding (which is a good substitute to violence)
ok this technically doesn't count but I'm putting it here anyways cuz its like one of my favorite ttrpgs of all time
TSL is a game about baring your heart and dueling away with people who you'll probably kiss 10 minutes later, its very very fanfic-ey and inspired by queer narratives. I put it here because its made by a team, and the expansion has a setting specifically meant to be a trans "allegory", so I'll say it counts, honestly just go check it out its good shit
https://willuhl.itch.io/mystic-lilies
Mystic Lillies is a game inspired by ZUN's Touhou Project about witches dueling powerful foes, each other, and themselves. Mystic Lillies features rapid character creation and a unique diceless form of rolling which instead uses a standard playing card deck.
https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/141424/nobilis-the-game-of-sovereign-powers-2002-edition
I… want to do a more general overview on Jenna K as an important figure in indie RPG design, but for now just know that Nobilis is good
https://temporalhiccup.itch.io/apocalypse-keys
Apocalypse Keys is a game inspired by Doom Patrol, Hellboy, X-men, and other comics about monstrousness being an allegory for disenfranchisement. Apocalypse Keys is also here because its published by Evilhat so its very cleaned up and fancy but I love how the second you check out the dev's other stuff you can tell they are a lot more experimental with their stuff, this is not a critique, it is in fact a compliment
Fellowship! I've posted about this game before, but it is again here. Fellowship has a fun concept that it uses very well mostly, its a game about defining your character's culture, and I think that's really really cool
Voidheart Symphony is a really cool game about psychic rebellion in a city that really does not like you, the more you discover for yourself the better
Panic at the Dojo is a phenomenal ttrpg based on what the Brazilian would call "Pancadaria", which basically means, fucking other's people shit up. Character Creation is incredibly open and free, meaning that many character concepts are available
Legacy 2e is a game about controlling an entire faction's choices across time, its very fun
remember to be kind to a trans person today!
oh also don't even try to be transphobic in the reblogs or replies, you will be blocked so fast your head will spin

Round 1, Match 17: Sword of the Creator vs. Sword of Heroes
Sword of the Creator
From: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Wielder: Byleth
This sword was forged from the spine of a dragon, and its segmented blade allows it to be used like a whip. It is said to be a gift to humanity by the Goddess. This sword also appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as Byleth’s main weapon.
Sword of Heroes
From: Kung Fu Panda
Wielder: The fourth brother, Po
This is a legendary halberd that can split into two other weapons: a dagger and a broadsword. According to legend, the sword was forged by a blacksmith whose three brothers, wielding each of the three swords the Sword of Heroes represents (halberd, broadsword, and dagger). His brothers were defeated in a battle against giants, but he forged the Sword of Heroes to honor each of them and used it to defeat the giants. In Kung Fu Panda, it is on display in the Hall of Warriors, and it is said that the sword is so sharp even a glance will cut you.
