At tables where the DM and all the players are LGBTQ+, the general stereotype I've seen (backed by ample anecdotal evidence) is that those issues are front and centre. It's not limited to sexuality though; from the play reports and game stories I've read, the entire play culture places a lot more emphasis on the personal moments, the quiet time between the action. A lot less killing, or at least a lot less glorification of killing. A lot more talking. A lot more intimate moments (not necessarily physically so, more social intimacy). This doesn't mean that a play style and culture focused more on social play than combat mechanics is automatically LGBTQ+; it's just that from what I've seen, gay and trans players who are bringing their LGBTQ+ identity to the table front and centre tend to gravitate towards that playstyle.Also tieflings. Tieflings as far as the eye can see. A few elves here and there, definitely some "monstrous race" presence, but it's under a deluge of tieflings. And say goodbye to any sense of the typical heroic fantasy gravitas; it's either gonna be super sappy and sentimental, or it's gonna be a total farce.</blockquote>
