Dream Askew

This is a one-shot of Dream Askew by Avery Alder with room for a total of five players, scheduled from 10am-2pm US Central time on July 13. Players new to Belonging Outside Belonging/GMless roleplaying games are welcome to join!

From the game's introduction:

Dream Askew gives us ruined buildings and wet tarps, nervous faces in the campfire glow, strange new psychic powers, fierce queer love, and turbulent skies above a fledgling community, asking “What do you do next?”

Imagine that the collapse of civilization didn’t happen everywhere at the same time. Instead, it’s happening in waves. Every day, more people fall out of the society intact. We queers were always living in the margins of that society, finding solidarity, love, and meaning in the strangest of places. Apocalypse didn’t come for us first, but it did come for us.

Gangs roam the apocalyptic wasteland, and scarcity is becoming the norm. The world is getting scarier, and just beyond our everyday perception, howling and hungry, there exists a psychic maelstrom.

We banded together to form a queer enclave — a place to live, sleep, and hopefully heal. More than ever before, each of us is responsible for the survival and fate of our community. What lies in the rubble? For this close-knit group of queers, could it be utopia?

Content Notes: Dream Askew includes themes of violence, gangs, oppression, and queer sexuality. When you play, your group can decide what to focus on and what to avoid, and tools are included to make that process easier.
