Hey hot queers and trans folks,

So Wyatt and I are making a board game and we need your help!

It’s going to be based on the game “Heartthrob” (I’ve included a description of the game below) and you are going to be the heartthrobs, so we need tons and tons of pictures of hot queer and trans folks to use in the game.

We will not take pictures of people without permission (except maybe some celebrities), so we’d love it if anyone interested in being one of the heartthrobs could send me an email and either attach or send a link to the picture of yourself that you would like to represent you in the game. Also let me know what name you want to have listed with your photo-you can totally use your own name if you want but maybe this would be a fun opportunity to try out that alias you sometimes think about using. If you have any brilliant ideas for personality traits, you should feel free to include those in your email as well.

We are looking for photos of self-identified queer and trans folks (though we’re not going to turn anyone away for not being queer or trans enough or anything) of all genders, and will use photos of anyone who sends us photos (unless for whatever reason we really really have a problem with the photo) so it’s not a popularity contest or a “who’s hot and who’s not” kind of thing.

Please email all photos to: Jackson.Radish @ gmail . com (really, please don’t send them to my other email address as they will just fill up my inbox)

Not sure what our exact plans are for the game-if it’s something we’re going to just make one copy of or if we’re going to figure out how to make templates of the game so other folks can print out their own version (this would require some computer savvy so we’ll have to see) or what-but we will keep people posted on when it’s ready and stuff.

Thanks!

Jack Radish

Here’s how the game works:

1) You select three “hunk” cards at random (these would be the ones with pictures of you. To be honest, this is the one where maybe you could pick until you got cards for three people who are not currently playing if you didn’t want to be snarky or risk hurting people’s feelings-this game is supposed to be just for fun)

2) Each player decides who they have a crush on given choices, based on looks alone. Then each player writes down which hunk they think each of the other players chose as their crush.

3) You go around the circle and say who you chose as your crush. You judge people’s crushes against your guesses and each player gets a point for each crush they guess right.

4) You select one personality trait (from one of three stacks of personality trait cards) for each hunk. Each stack of personality trait cards has a theme like “ambition” or “worst quality”. We might also add a category or so of our own, like we might incorporate the hanky code into a category of personality cards.

5) Repeat the process of choosing new crushes and guessing other people’s crushes detailed in steps one through three, only choose your crush based on the whole package (looks combined with personality traits).

6) Keep adding personality traits and selecting crushes until one from each stack has been assigned to each hunk. When you are done, add up the points you received for guessing other players’ crushes correctly and see who got the most guesses right.
