What a great write-up and format! I *also* rolled a pirate kid who grew up to be a good cook, lol :D

I love how open-ended it is. Like it just kinda is this system to generate a framework and you tell whatever story you want on top of that!

I am so jealous of ppl able to get the physical book. Hoping it comes to NA soon (group order!)

Of course, thank YOU for sharing such a great game with us :D

I grew up as a Trekkie. I love all things fantasy now, but sci-fi always has my heart. After reading Becky Chambers THE LONG WAY TO A SMALL ANGRY PLANET I went down the black hole that is cozy, character-drive sci-fi adventures. Where the focus wasn't the science, or the tech, but a soft musing of what life might be like in the future.

Enter: FOR SMALL CREATURES SUCH AS WE. I'm a big fan of Anna's games in general. But this one might, imho, be her most perfect game yet. It's a little bit crunchy, some fun management bits with suggests on making it easier. And like all solo RPGs, take what's fun for you, skip what ain't.

The real gold here is just the gentle guidance into creating a beautiful rich and diverse universe. Prompts are fun and varied, ranging from "oh nooooo" to "omg fuuuuun!" Depending on how you set things up the game can be a challenging adventure of daring do through the universe, or a cozy found-family romp that is healing and fun.

I will be playing this game for a long, long time!
