« on: August 25, 2016, 04:55:06 PM »
Hi! I've been working on a hack on my own for the last few months, and am comfortable enough with what I've got to start soliciting feedback. The hack is called Migrant Stories, and it strives to tell the emotional truth, if not the historical truth, of the immigrant experience. I designed the game mostly in a vacuum, having run just two short playtests with close friends, so I'm anxious to hear what others think.
Here's the Google Drive folder with rules and sheets.
Here's a peek at what's inside:
Innate Traits: Strong, Nimble, Wise, Clever, Gracious
Perceived Traits: Dark, Exotic, Accented
Basic Moves: Observe, Remember, Beat Feet, Resort to Violence, Aid, Intervene, Appeal, Create an Association or Tie
Peripheral Moves: Toil, Trade, Prepare, Seek Shelter
Desperate Moves: Blend In, Reinforce a Stereotype, Beg a Favor, Make a Stand
Playbooks: The Artist, The Devotee, The Exile, The Homebound, The Hustler, The Laborer, The Refugee, The Street Urchin
