Chainmail Bikini Is A Comic Anthology About Women In Gaming And You Can Support It

Women in comics! Women in gaming!

Recommended Videos

Do you want to support ladies making comics? How about ladies who love video games? Now, thanks to a new anthology up for funding on Kickstarter, you can do both at the same time!

Chainmail Bikini is a comic anthology both by and about women in the world of gaming, and features all kinds of different games from video to card to table-top. According to the Kickstarter,

The comics in Chainmail Bikini explore the real-life impact of entering a fantasy world, how games can connect us with each other and teach us about ourselves. Alliances are forged, dice get rolled, and dragons get slain! We believe that gaming should be open to all, regardless of gender. Chainmail Bikini shows that while women are not always the target market for gaming, they are a vital and thoroughly engaged part of it, and are eager to express their personal take as players, makers, and critics of games.

Chainmail Bikini features a huge number of wonderfully talented and creative women. Just check out this list!
