I was sooo reluctant to play Dream Askew (because post-apocalyptic games always mean confronting the fact that I probably wouldn't have survived to be in their world), but it still gave me room to play complex, traumatized, imperfect queers trying to build lives with those of us who did survive.
I was sooo reluctant to play Dream Apart (because I'm German and worried a lot about doing things wrong), but it very kindly took my hand and invited me in, gave me lots of information to start with and permission to make mistakes, and gave me an opportunity to be brave and to keep learning.
Both games are beautifully written, very well-explained, and full of great ideas. And the "Designing Your Own" chapter is super generous and made so many other games possible. 💖
