Quarterly Girl by Moonlight: Beneath A Rotting Sky

Starting on <t:1754157600:F>, with subsequent session at the same day and time until the last session on <t:1761415200:F>.

Girl by Moonlight is a game about the tragic struggles and defiant triumphs of a group of magical girls resisting an oppressive society. Exploring the heartbreak of denying who you really are, fighting for what you believe in, and the transcendent power of relationships and community.

Beneath A Rotting Sky is the series playset for this quarterly game. It is about tragedy and betrayal. Most, if not all, of the characters will be complicit in the world's oppression, with little hope of redemption.

The protagonists' own power plays a role in their undoing, and their story ends with an almost inevitable tragic fate.

Though this series is bleak, there is still struggle and triumph and moments of brightness made all the more luminous against the backdrop of a crumbling world.

Play this series if:

• You want to explore intense or challenging emotions, or question the optimistic assumptions of magical girl stories.

• You want a tragic story about betrayal, hardship, and the struggle for self-definition.

• You want to see visceral descriptions of strange and violent creatures, unnatural wildness infiltrating urban spaces, and people living in the ruins of a broken world.

We will also utilize the Threat Roll from Blades in the Dark: Deep Cuts instead of the usual one found in GbM and other FitD games.

No prior experience is required. Rules will be taught during play. A character keeper and an online dice roller will also be available.

Players will receive an email a week before the first session takes place to confirm attendance and acquire play materials.
