Does anyone have access to, or a copy of, the academic book Transgression in Games and Play by Faltin Karlson and Kristine Jørgensen, specifically its seventh chapter "Queering Games, Play, and Culture through Transgressive Role-Playing Games" by Tanja Sihvonen and Jaakko Stenros? I need it as a cite in a draft; previously the information I needed was available on Google Books, but the preview has rotated around to one that cuts off before the relevant part, and the Discord server turned up a blank. I only need a fairly short section (half a paragraph or so), so can do with a quote of the relevant part. Vaticidalprophet ( talk) 13:57, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
From the 1990s on, sourcebooks started to flirt more openly with sexuality. Some of the edgiest sourcebooks offered hooks for fairly outrageous material, such as “the fourteen inch barbed penis” that Brown’s (2013) group discusses. Yet most RPG sourcebooks do not include any queer content, and even the supplements on fantasy sexuality tend to be quite tame (Stenros and Sihvonen 2015). An obvious exception is the infamous and ridiculed (cf. MacLennan and Sartin 2009) 900-page sourcebook for the role-playing game F.A.T.A.L. (Anonymous 2003), which contains rules for rape and has magic items for impregnation, anal rape, and public masturbation. Even so, it does show that in private RPGs the standards of conduct can be very different and that Apperley’s characterization of “playing with one’s own shit” is at least at times fairly accurate. Such play is interpreted as transgressive only when it becomes public.
