I need to find some more biology facts for these meetings. The new support website looks pretty good, though.

Read: Two Necromancers, A Dwarf Kingdom, And A Sky City (LG Estrella): Like all books in this series, has what it says on the tin (plus all the OP weirdos the two necromancers collected in previous books), plus the impending war against the country that never got over their country breaking away centuries ago, and extradimensional horrors. Although there’s plenty of setup for another book, there doesn’t seem to be one.

Read: Dungeon Bitches (Emily F Allen, Sarah Carapace, Mxtress Khan): Another game I am not qualified to play, never mind run, but I wanted to see what they did with it. PbtA, queer women and their trauma explore dungeons because it’s better than trying to live in heterocentric patriarchy. The playbooks (called Deals, as in “so what’s your deal?”) include runaway nuns, renegade princesses, witches, Frankensteinian undead, virgin huntresses, shapeshifting monsters, and revolutionary firebrands. Despite being fairly recent, it still has AW-style sex moves, although there’s always an option to switch out for the intimacy moves favored by later PbtA games to support ace characters (or vice versa in the case of the Virgin Huntress). Emotional and physical trauma are use the same hitpoints and get healed the same way, frequently through sex moves. The text has lots of cussing, and the art and layout reinforce that this is a hardcore game.

Words: FAIL.
