Okay i think I get it, the first part of this book is just explaining where lgbt people and dnd connect and then hopefully the second part will delve into how this creates community and why nerdy stuff attracts the queers.

I've got one chapter left and I really can't be excited about this one. It feels more like a expositionary dialogue piece than an essay with a point, a theme, a thesis. Its not badly written so I dont want to give it two stars but I've not felt this non-passionate while reading a text about a topic I am passionate and knowledgeable about yet.

Target audience, who your text is for. I kind of expected a book about queer culture within dnd to be written for queer people who play dnd. This book starts with a chapter explaining what dnd is and what queer means, not a bad thing sure but if your target audience is queer nerds, we already know what these words mean. If its for people unfamiliar, then it shouldn't be written in low-fantasy language.
