Trans Witches Are Witches Bundle Now Live on Itch

With the release of Hogwarts Legacy, the gaming community has been embroiled in discourse. The bulk of the discussion is between discussing the open-world adventure on its own merits and reconciling the game as another part of author JK Rowling’s very public campaigns against the LGBT+ community, This has led to members of the community coordinating boycotts or even just telling trans allies to buy something else. And members of the TTRPG community have come together once more in protest with their Trans Witches are Witches bundle.
