Dream Askew / Dream Apart (Softcover)
Dream Askew and Dream Apart are beginner-friendly roleplaying games of Belonging Outside Belonging created by Avery Alder and Benjamin Rosenbaum. They give you tools to tell a story about marginalized people living together in precarious community. The games use a no dice, no masters system that emphasizes collaboration, shared ownership, and character-driven play. Published in duet, the book includes both games and a step-by-step guide to designing your own games of Belonging Outside Belonging. Build a community together, and then make trouble within it!
In Dream Askew, that community is a queer enclave enduring the collapse of civilization. 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?”
In Dream Apart, it’s a Jewish shtetl in a fantastical-historical Eastern Europe. Demons and wedding jesters; betrothals and pogroms; mystical ascensions and accusations of murder; the sounds of the shofar ringing through cramped and muddy streets, of cannon fire, of the wolf’s footfalls in the snowy pine forest; asking “What do you do next?”
