23 years ago, I actually had a good friend come out in the middle of a campaign, as part of the campaign. They were playing a basilisk that had been shapeshifted to a human by an evil wizard and their character arc was just about getting their real body back.
It was extremely awesome.

I see what you mean.
Reminds me of when I ended up playing a changeling. Five players plus the DM; two players were transgender, and one was non-binary. We were going around the table introducing our characters. They had all finished, and I was last. Notably, when I introduced my character, I didn’t bother saying their pronouns. One of the other players asked, and I just deadpanned “Changeling…”
The collective lightbulb moment was like that one scene in 22 Jump Street. All three of them took a beat, then immediately crashed out when they realized the straight cis dude was the one playing a changeling, and that they hadn’t thought of it first.
I GM for the free snacks.
Had a friend who was outed in college for exactly this reason. A couple of the other out folks at the table kinda pulled them aside and insisted they come out clubbing with them. They were fully out of the closet by the end of the semester.
I spent 23 years role playing as a guy. I’ll be damned if I ever play an RPG as a male character ever again.
I play dnd to set up a good torturous moral hypothesis to observe how my players react :P
And testing out fun game concepts on a free audience for my game dev while getting paid in snacks and grass :D
