Playdate |
Why do children have imaginary friends? Sometimes imaginary friends are there to help kids work through issues they can’t handle alone. Sometimes a lonely child is looking for company. Sometimes it’s because their real friends have imaginary friends. And sometimes, maybe, they’re just for fun. In Playdate, a group of kids have been left with a teenage babysitter for an afternoon. There will be toys, craft time, pizza, and maybe some existential angst. Playdate is a game about children dealing with difficult issues. It asks how we know what is real, and whether that even matters. Content Warnings: Bullying, alcoholism, death or illness of family members, anaphylaxis, temper tantrums, existential angst, mid-game expectation shifts. Format Information: Slice of Life: Prewritten characters, no combat, low transparency (players do not know what characters do not know, some important world information is hidden from the characters and players), all mechanics are acted out with no stats or randomization. Players of all ages. Players under 16 should contact GMs first. |

Arnold, Graham
Graham is a scurrilous individual prone to gross exaggeration and flights of fancy. He is too lazy to
write his own bio. We do absolutely love him despite this
Ask him sometime about why he’s never been in a hot tub with his lodge mates Nathan and Richard.
