The Gay Adventurer's Guide to the Barren Coast (Adventure Setting)
![]() |
The Barren Coast is an Adventure Setting for the Gay Realms RPG ! You need a copy of the core rules or quickstart to play.
The Barren Coast is a brutal and unwelcoming stretch of land along the north shores of The Gay Realms continent. A landscape of deep crags¸ high stone monoliths¸ and boiling pits of tar make this one place you wouldn't want to be.
Unfortunately¸ that is right where you have found yourself.
On the old continent of Hellick Water¸ the tyrant king and his religious templars have an ongoing crusade against anyone they consider "undesirables.” In particular¸ this includes gay¸ queer¸ trans¸ and all other LGBTQ+ members of the society.
Any openly queer person¸ if they aren't arrested and killed¸ is exiled to the Barren Continent (the world known to all who live there as the free Gay Realms.)
The Barren Coast is the longest coast on the continent and is blocked off by the huge mountain range from the rest of the regions beyond.
The wicked king and his templar's belief¸ and hope¸ is that the harsh nature of The Barren Coast will kill anyone left there without supply¸ without food¸ and without protection. The King is SO set on this¸ that he sends his lowliest of Templar Knights to this land to patrol the coast and kill off anyone who appears to be thriving.
However¸ all is not lost for those who are dropped here.
A free society of LGBTQ+ people has risen up all across the continent¸ and the righteous Orders of the Rainbow have sworn to help all those who are unlawfully exiled here. All along the barren coast¸ volunteer adventurers wander up and down¸ searching for those in need of help (and seeking to drive off the wicked tyrannical Templars).
Small outposts act as mini villages where the newly exiled can find food¸ water¸ shelter¸ and kindness while prior to being transferred to Rose Quartz City-The Captial of the Gay Realms.
However¸ that doesn't mean it will be easy. Strange wildlife wanders the Barren Coast. Dangerous terrain and conditions threaten to kill lost folk. And a little-known race of people known as Oilkfolk is none too happy to see more and more folks stepping on their land.
Will you survive the Barren Coast?
